Holytown is a small town in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, lying on the urban fringe between Motherwell and Bellshill. It sits within the Lanarkshire post‑industrial belt and has good rail links on the Shotts line, making it a convenient commuter spot for Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Historically Holytown grew up around coal mining and the nearby steel and iron industries, and like many local communities it experienced economic and social change after pit closures. Today it combines residential neighbourhoods, community facilities and pockets of regeneration while retaining a strong local identity shaped by its industrial heritage.
