Bothwellhaugh

Bothwellhaugh was a Scottish coal mining village, which housed Hamilton Palace Colliery workers and their families.

Locals referred to the village as The Pailis, and it was located near the towns of Motherwell, Bellshill and Hamilton, in Lanarkshire.

[4] The mining from this pit led to the demolition of Hamilton Palace due to subsidence.

The Bothwellhaugh name is retained in a set of football/rugby pitches operated by North Lanarkshire Council,[11][12] near to the M&D's amusement park and the Raith Interchange of the M74 motorway / A725.

[14] A memorial to the village and visitor centre has been proposed at the old Raith farm workers cottage.
