Larkhall
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. Your new home in Larkhall also has a golf course and when you’re not on the driving range, you could try driving at the local go-karting arena.

Roads, railways and flights
Join the M74 at junction 8 and you have access to north and southbound carriageways with Glasgow (18 miles) and Carlisle (79 miles) both an easy drive. If you need to get to Edinburgh the drive time is about 50 minutes via the M8. There is a train station on the Argyll Line, with regular services into Glasgow taking about 40 minutes. Local bus routes from the town connect you with Hamilton, Lanark, Motherwell, Stonehouse, Strathaven and Wishaw. You’re within easy reach of Glasgow Airport too, it’s less than 30 miles from your new house.
Shop, eat and relax close to home
It's great being able to walk from your new home to your local cafe or restaurant to celebrate with friends. The great thing about the town is its choice of pubs and eateries, as well as local and high street chains that are all available without going into the city. The town has a good choice of supermarkets, as well as smaller convenience stores if you need to pop out for a pint of milk. There is a leisure centre, a golf course, a library and an early years children’s centre. But, should you wish for the bright lights, Glasgow is only a half hour drive to enjoy all the fabulous shopping, bars and restaurants you could wish for!
