Condorrat is a former village in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Like Luggiebank, Castlecary and Dullatur, it predates the new town of Cumbernauld, but unlike those Condorrat was officially included in the designated new town area.[1][2] Since then it has officially been part of Cumbernauld although it retains some of its own distinctive character. Dalshannon Farm and cottages were located in the area west of the original town and farm, and north of the Luggie. So also was a corn mill called Wood Mill.[3] Road signs show they are is now in the western part of Condorrat towards Mollinsburn.

Condorrat now has many of its own facilities, including a health centre, 3 primary schools and a library.[4]
