Uddingston in South Lanarkshire, Scotland is a compact riverside town on the north bank of the River Clyde, sitting within easy commuting distance of Glasgow. Its rail links and proximity to the M74 mean it feels as much part of the Glasgow commuter belt as a distinct small town, with a mix of Victorian terraces, local shops and riverside green space.
The town has a strong local identity - most famously home to the Tunnock’s factory and its much-loved teacakes - and grew up around 19th-century industry and the railways. Community sport clubs, a lively Main Street and easy access to nearby historic spots such as Bothwell and Bothwell Castle make it a practical, characterful place to live on the fringe of the city.
