The area, one of the biggest in Lowland Scotland, was in some cases called Shotts however formally it was known as Bertram Shotts. Shotts was known for its mining and ironworks. The Shotts Iron Company was first settled in 1801 and gave work to Shotts and the encompassing territory for a long time, and was inevitably ended up in 1952. These were created when transport by trench and railroad moved toward becoming possible. In the years paving the way to World War II there were 22 coal mines in the region, however Northfield Colliery, the remainder of these, shut in the 1960s.
