Ravenswood, Cumbernauld


Ravenswood is an area of Cumbernauld, Scotland.

History

Ravenswood, sometimes known as Bogedge, was formerly a retreat for Glasgow churchmen. There are records of an Episcopal chapel there. Ravenswood is also called Bogedge on old maps. The remains of a mill from Ravenswood Farm can still be traced.

New Town district

The street-naming scheme is based on Scottish islands. Ravenswood Primary School and Our Lady's High School are both in this area of the town. Early in the new town's history Ravenswood was more distinct from Seafar than it now is possibly due to the building schedule and signage on paths. More recently Seafar is more dominant perhaps because Ravenswood doesn't appear on road signs.
Ravenswood has its own Local Nature Reserve.
