South Lanarkshire is one of Scotland's most diverse areas, combining all the advantages of a modern, prosperous urban economy with a beautiful rural landscape and rich history.

Its central location in the heart of the central lowlands of Scotland has allowed it to take full advantage, both for business and pleasure, of the main rail and road links to the rest of UK.

You will find information on the whole of Lanarkshire on the Lanarkshire website.
