Ravenswood, Cumbernauld

Ravenswood, sometimes known as Bogedge, was formerly a retreat for Glasgow churchmen.^[1] There are records of an Episcopal chapel there.^[2] Ravenswood is also called Bogedge on old maps.^[3][4] The remains of a mill from Ravenswood Farm can still be traced.^[5]

The street-naming scheme is based on Scottish islands.^[6] Ravenswood Primary School^[7] and Our Lady's High School are both in this area of the town.^[8] 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.^[9] More recently Seafar is more dominant perhaps because Ravenswood did not appear on any road signs until 2023. ^[10]

Ravenswood has its own Local Nature Reserve.^[11]
