About Drumpellier Angling Club
The lochs at Drumpellier are part of a chain of kettle ponds formed towards the end of the last ice age. As thlacier that covered most of Scotland slipped down towards the sea it churned up great tracts of land. This created the great lochs, such as Lomond and Linnhe, and also produced small pockets of water such as the Garnkirk chain of Hogganfield, Frankfield and the Bishops Lochs that include Drumpellier's Lochs, Woodend and Lochend.
Man has also left his mark on the park area over many thousands of years. Flint tools of the Stone Age have been found on the shores of Woodend Loch, and Lochend Loch once boasted a fine example of a crannog, a dwelling place of iron-age man situated on stilts in open water for security and protection. The site of the crannog is depicted on Lochend Loch using small coloured buoys.

The park lies beside the A752, two miles north of the A8 /M8 Glasgow /Edinburgh trunk road and is easily found close to Junction 2A on the M73 Motorway, follow signs for Coatbridge. Ample car parking facilities are available within the park.
