In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Dykehead like this:
Dykehead, a village in Shotts parish, NE Lanarkshire, ½ mile W of Shotts station. It stands amid a bleak moorish country, but derives prosperity from extensive neighbouring mineral works.
Dykehead is now part of NORTH LANARKSHIRE Council. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTH LANARKSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Dykehead itself, go to Statistics.
