Drumchapel

An Airdrie service calls at Drumchapel on the dull morning of 13 January. As so often the Gaelic version of the name on the sign (Druim a Caibeal) is questionable to say the least. Toponymists are pretty much agreed that Drumchapel means 'ridge of the horse' or 'horse's back', and is nothing to do with chapels as suggested.
