Living in Croy
Croy is a small, unpretentious village in North Lanarkshire that punches above its weight when it comes to connectivity. Sitting on the edge of the Central Belt, it has the feel of a tight-knit community — the kind of place where neighbours still say hello — while offering straightforward access to two of Scotland's biggest cities. The surrounding landscape is quietly attractive: open farmland and gentle hills frame the village, with the Campsie Fells rising to the south-west as a constant reminder that proper countryside is never far away. For buyers seeking a calmer pace of life without sacrificing the career opportunities or cultural pull of Glasgow or Edinburgh, Croy makes a compelling case.
Schools and education
Families with younger children are served by Croy Primary School, the village's own primary school, which feeds into the wider North Lanarkshire school network. For secondary education, pupils typically move on to schools in Kilsyth, the nearest town, where Kilsyth Academy is the main secondary option. North Lanarkshire Council also operates a range of additional support and specialist provision across the area. Private schooling is accessible within a reasonable drive, with a number of independent schools reachable via the A80 corridor towards Glasgow. As with any new-build development, prospective buyers should confirm current catchment arrangements directly with North Lanarkshire Council, as these can be subject to change.
Transport and connectivity
Transport is one of Croy's strongest selling points. Croy railway station sits on the Edinburgh–Glasgow Queen Street via Falkirk High line, with direct services into Glasgow Queen Street taking under 30 minutes and onward connections to Edinburgh making cross-Scotland commuting realistic. Trains run regularly throughout the day, making the station a genuine asset for working households.
