Rutherglen is one of Scotland's oldest Royal Burghs, predating Glasgow and now part of the Greater Glasgow metropolitan area in South Lanarkshire. The town retains a distinct identity with its own main street and town hall, and benefits from excellent connectivity via the Glasgow rail network and M74 motorway. The nearby Cuningar Loop woodland park adds green amenity.
“Historic royal burgh. Strong Glasgow commuter links. Growing regeneration.”
