Background
History
Caldercruix developed in the 19th century as the papermaking and mining industries grew. The village was formerly home to a large paper mill, which closed in 1970. The village is situated by the North Calder Water and probably takes its name from the bends or crooks (cruiks) in the river. North Calder Water was dammed in the late 18th century to create Hillend Loch, which is used recreationally by anglers and sailors. Caldercruix is mentioned in the song "Glasgow" by rock band You Me at Six on their 2021 album Suckapunch. This is believed to be in reference to frontman Josh Franceschi's former spouse from the village: "Caldercruix called and said//that she don't want//the same thing".
