Whifflet
Whifflet (Scots: The Whufflit, Scottish Gaelic: Magh na Cruithneachd) is an area of the town of Coatbridge, Scotland, which once formed its own distinctive village. It is referred to, locally, as "The Whifflet" (and pronounced "wheef-lat" or "whiff-lat").
Whifflet was originally known as "The Wheat Flats", due to its flat empty land of dry wheat however, over time the name appears to have developed into "Whifflet". Although Whifflet is now a suburb-area of Coatbridge, many locals still refer to it as "The Whifflet", with emphasis on the 'The'. Whifflet is dominated by its Main Street, aptly named 'Whifflet Street', which has numerous shops, takeout restaurants, bookmakers, an old fashioned sweet shop and many pubs.
There are two main tower blocks of flats located on Whifflet Street, named 'Whifflet Court' and 'Calder Court'. Both tower blocks, built in 1963, contain 165 individual residences (330 in total) and are 15 storeys high. There are current discussions underway with North Lanarkshire Council to demolish various tower blocks across the county and replace them with more affordable and energy efficient homes, both 'Whifflet Court' and 'Calder Court' are within the remit of demolition.
