Westerwood is an area in the north-east of Cumbernauld in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Historically it was the site of a Roman Fort of which a video reconstruction has been produced.[2] In the past two decades, new housing developments have been built around the Westerwood Hotel and Golf Course.[3] The golf course, which was designed by Seve Ballesteros and Dave Thomas, is located on the north side of the town, close to Cumbernauld Airport. Westerwood Community Council was set up for local residents and a committee has been appointed.[4] Neighbouring villages which are outside of Cumbernauld include Dullatur to the north-west and Castlecary to the east.
