Stepps (Scottish Gaelic: Ceumannan) is a town in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, near the north-eastern outskirts of Glasgow.[2] According to data gathered by North Lanarkshire Council in 2020, Stepps is estimated to have a population of roughly 7,700 inhabitants.[3] Its recently upgraded amenities include a new primary school, library and sports facilities.
The town retains a historic heart around its church in Whitehill Avenue, whilst examples of Victorian and Edwardian housing can still be found. The travel connections by road and rail mean residents work in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Stirling and beyond. The town is located in close proximity to the new Seven Lochs Wetland Park, from which views to the Campsies and Loch Lomond can be enjoyed.[4] Stepps has a population of around 6,730.[5]
