Standburn

Standburn is a small village in Central Scotland near Falkirk. The only municipal building in the village is Drumbowie Primary School. The majority of housing exists on either side of the road which runs through the village. However, there are a few outlying properties within the boundary.

Standburn is located on the B825 between Maddiston and Avonbridge. It was a mining communuty with several active pits until the 1950s. The pits were individually numbered and all prefixed by Gateside.

The bings from the mining days can still be seen although the land has now been planted with trees and named Gateside Woodland. Drumbowie Environment Action Group [http://www.deag.org.uk] is a charitable organisation which owns Drumbowie Park on the north of the village .This community woodland is open to the public.
