A. Formerly a mining community, Airdrie is now a chiefly residential town. Founded by monks in the 12th century (hence the area still known today as Monklands), the town flourished on the weaving and mining industries in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today Airdrie is a working class town though becoming increasingly popular as a commuter base for both Glasgow and Edinburgh (37 miles).
