Originally two separate newspapers, the two joined together and became sister papers along with the Falkirk Herald. The Chronicle was a local paper for the town of Kilsyth and surrounding areas, until the Cumbernauld New Town was created and with a small local paper, The Cumbernauld News created in June 1961 by the Falkirk Herald less than a week before a paper, the Cumbernauld Courier,was started by the Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser.
