Mollinsburn is a settlement in the North Lanarkshire area of Scotland. It is situated on the A80 road between Condorrat to the east and Moodiesburn to the west. The population is around 100. It used to be known as Mollinburn and the stream known as Mollins Burn joins the Luggie Water east of the village.
Mollinsburn is south of the Luggie and the M80 and M73 motorways are between the river and the village - the roads converge at that point, resulting in the Mollinsburn name being used frequently in regional traffic reports.
The etymology of the name is a semi-translation of ‘Allt a' Mhuilinn’, meaning "burn of the mill".

History
Mollinsburn had once been a quaint fishing village until its inhabitants decided to move further in land to work on the building of the Antonine Wall to the north of the settlement.
