Located north of Westfield and towards Kirkintilloch, construction of Blackwood first began in the early 1990s and is home to several housing estates, as well as a man-made reservoir (Broadwood Loch) and Broadwood Stadium, the former home of Clyde F.C. from 1994 to 2022. In the 2001 census, Blackwood had a population of 1,470 and was revealed to be the largest new settlement in Scotland that had not been recognised as a locality in the previous census in 1991. Housing construction in the area continued throughout the 1990s and 2000s.[1][2][3]
