Your new home, Carluke, is the largest town in the Clyde Valley. It looks out from a plateau in the fruit growing area of Scotland over the River Clyde.

Carlake also has a busy high street with a great selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. While there are the usual high street banks, chemists and supermarkets, your new home in Carluke also has some independents including a great coffee shop, bakery, pizza parlour and takeaways. There’s a children’s nursery and a choice of five primary schools and a high school. And, if you enjoy sport, the John Cumming Stadium or local leisure centre can oblige.

Back in the 1950s Cumbernauld was designated as one of Scotland’s new towns and grew from a tiny village into a city. Today, your new home retains its modernist past with brave architecture, public artworks, town underpasses and brutalist buildings.
The town centre is home to the first ever shopping centre in the UK, the Cumbernauld Centre and is packed with shops and eateries as well as a sports centre, schools, college and places of worship. Town planners included 50% green space and four nature reserves when designing the town, and it has received a clutch of awards including a Beautiful Scotland Award for Best Small City and a Garden for Life Bio-Diversity Award.
Your new home in Gartcosh has been a centre of Scottish industry for centuries, from coal to clay to iron. While the trains no longer shunt coal to Glasgow, investment has meant that the newly opened railway station can offer commuters a direct link into Glasgow city centre in around 20 minutes.

Close to your new home is the equestrian centre, a golf course, bowling green and the Loch with opportunities for fishing, boating or letting off steam in the local playground. Aside from sport, your new house is still close enough to major cities to make it a commuter’s dream – Edinburgh is 30 miles away and Glasgow is just 23 miles.
Like many of the beautiful towns around Lanarkshire, Larkhall has a rich industrial past – including the largest viaduct in Scotland – the Morgan Glen measuring some 260m across. To the east, the M74 makes its way to Glasgow in around half an hour, while Avon Water snakes to the west, with miles of trees and woodland walks.
Home to lots of green space, community gardens, play parks, good schools, a high street with all the shops you need, as well as different places of worship.

Stonehouse is an interesting place full of adaptations. There’s a wonderful shop, that was once a cinema kitted out from a ship scrap sale complete with mahogany staircase and chandelier from the RMS Homeric. There is also a handful of 18th century weavers’ cottages with innovative double windows to improve interior light at the loom. And, more recently, disused public buildings have been converted into a community space complete with a café, library and learning centre, with rooms that can be booked out for local clubs and socials.
