Seafar is a part of the town of Cumbernauld in Scotland. It used to be a sand pit and a farm. These original spots were located where the A8011 road is now.
In the early days of Cumbernauld, Seafar felt more separate from nearby areas like Ravenswood and Muirhead. This was probably because of how buildings were put up and how paths were signed. Today, Seafar feels more important, perhaps because its name appears on road signs, while Ravenswood and Muirhead do not.
