The 36.5-hectare site of the village is above the A73 behind the hamlet of Stand and south of Greengairs Road. Albert Bartlett said key features include two areas of ancient woodland and an east/west track connecting it to Stand . It added that these features have shaped the village , forming five discrete neighbourhoods totalling at least 523 houses within a generous green buffer . The site is two miles north-east of Airdrie, adjacent to the A73. With connections to the M80 and M8, Glasgow is 11 miles away and Edinburgh lies 30 miles east.
