I am researching a family that was married and had their children in Cumbernauld, Dunbartonshire, in Scotland.
When I looked on google map, Cumbernauld is in North Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire is west of Glasgow.
What am I missing?

    Should have mentioned that this was in the early 1800s.

    --------------------- 

    Cumbernauld is a large town in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is the ninth most-populous locality in Scotland and the most populated town in north Lanarkshire, positioned in the centre of Scotland's Central Belt. Geographically, Cumbernauld sits between east and west, being on the Scottish watershed between the Forth and the Clyde; however, it is culturally far more weighted towards Glasgow and the New Town's planners thought to fill 80% of its houses from Scotland's largest city to reduce housing pressure there.
