Netherburn

Netherburn is a rural village in the council area of South Lanarkshire, Scotland.

[2] It is located four miles south east of Larkhall and within the historic parish of Dalserf.

The village consists of two distinct parts: an older settlement at a crossroads consisting of some sandstone bungalows[3] and a small development of large modern villas (the area is attractive to developers due to its proximity to the M74 motorway which has a junction 4 miles (6.4 km) from Netherburn via the larger village of Ashgill and the A71 road), and a separate cluster of post-World War II housing arranged in a symmetrical design with a common green at its centre.

The local primary school[4] (5 classes and nursery), previously located in the old part, has been rebuilt in the space between the two[5] alongside the community centre, playpark and war memorial.

The village was the home of footballer brothers Willie and Jimmy McStay who both served as captain of Celtic F.C.
