Forth is a small village in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, set in rolling farmland on the edges of the Clyde Valley. The setting is typically rural with stone-built houses and a compact village centre; the surrounding landscape offers pleasant walking and views across agricultural land and to the river corridors that characterise this part of Lanarkshire.
Historically the community grew around agriculture with pockets of local industry in the 19th and 20th centuries, and today it combines farming with a number of residents who commute to larger towns and cities. Social life revolves around local institutions such as the village hall and church, and the area retains a quiet, close-knit feel while being within reasonable reach of larger centres.
