New Stevenston is a small former mining village in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, lying close to the larger towns of Motherwell and Bellshill. It sits on the edge of the Clyde Valley conurbation, with a mix of traditional terraced housing and more recent suburban development, and benefits from good road and rail connections that make Glasgow and Edinburgh commutable for those working in the cities.
The village grew up in the 19th century around coal mining and related industries, and that industrial heritage still shapes local identity even after the pits closed. Today New Stevenston has a strong community feel with local shops, clubs and churches, and a social fabric that has adapted towards retail, light industry and commuter livelihoods while preserving elements of its mining-era history.
