Dullatur is a village on the outskirts of Cumbernauld, Scotland The village's name is taken from the Gaelic "Dubh Leitir", which means dark hill on the slope. The route of the Antonine Wall passed right over the site of Dullatur, and two Roman marching camps were sited there.  The camp was an extension of the frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site.
 In the spring and summer of 1998 the excavation of the roman marching camps was undertaken by Headland on behalf of North Lanarkshire Council in advance of the development of what are now Dullatur Gate and Victoria Grange.
The inner and outer camps disappear under The Lane, south east of Dullatur House. No significant roman finds were made, although a large piece of 14th century green glaze ware was found by schoolgirls Jennifer Stewart and Lisa Mason. Thought by the archaeologists to be from the time when the clans rested in the area before the battle of Bannockburn.
The development of the village owes much to the creation of the Glasgow-Edinburgh railway line, with a station sited in Dullatur in 1842 to encourage wealthy merchants to settle there. The train station is now closed and the platforms and bridge have long disappeared but the original station house still stands in the station yard.

The make up of the village was for the upper classes, to echo the mansions in Lenzie with a number of grand villas being built in Prospect Road and Victoria Road, two of these Dunluce and Woodend located in Prospect Road were designed by the celebrated architect Alexander "Greek" Thomson. A third, Richmond House was demolished in the 1970’s. Victoria Road also hosts a grand listed semi attributed to the “Greek Thomson” partnership.  Victoria Terrace has 11 listed buildings. Dullatur House in The Lane was the oldest house and largest property in the village sitting on around six acres of ground, the original building dating from around 1740, with the main alterations made in the Georgian era. Easter Dullatur House is an original Georgian building.
Present day Dullatur shows an equally impressive display of up-market family homes.
