Hallside
Drumsagard Village is a new construction village in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire. It is built around the site of Drumsagard Castle and immediately south of the site of Hallside Steelworks, also known as the Cambuslang Iron and Steel Works. One of the first facilities of their kind and eventually extending over an area of around 33 acres, the steelworks were established in 1873 and closed in 1979. History The Parish of Cambuslang in the Barony of Drumsargard, also spelt Drumsagart, meaning "ridge of the priest" – can be traced back to the time of King Alexander II of Scotland (1214–49) when it belonged to Walter Olifard, Justiciar of Lothian. The Barony of Drumsargard (whose castle ruins can be discerned to the south-east of Hallside although none of the structure itself now remains) passed to Archibald Douglas, 3rd Earl of Douglas in 1370, as part of the settlement in his marriage to Johanna, daughter of Thomas Moray of Bothwell. In 1452 the Douglases were displaced in favo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Halfway is a largely suburban area in the town of Cambuslang, Scotland, located within the local authority area of South Lanarkshire. It borders the smaller areas of Lightburn, Cairns, Flemington, Drumsagard and Hallside. Halfway is the largest component of the Cambuslang East ward of South Lanarkshire Council which has an overall population of around 16,000.

Newton is within the Cambuslang East ward of the South Lanarkshire Council area.

Cambuslang East (ward)
Cambuslang West is one of the 20 electoral wards of South Lanarkshire Council. Created in 2007, the ward elects three councillors using the single transferable vote electoral system and covers an area with a population of 17,418 people. The ward was previously a Labour stronghold with the party holding at least two of the three seats between 2007 and 2017. However, it has since swung towards the Scottish National Party (SNP) with the party holding two of the three seats since 2017. Boundaries The ward was created following the Fourth Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements ahead of the 2007 Scottish local elections. As a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, local elections in Scotland would use the single transferable vote electoral system from 2007 onwards so Cambuslang East was formed from an amalgamation of several previous first-past-the-post wards. It contained the majority of the former Cairns ward, roughly half of the former Cambuslang Central ward a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

George Jardine
Rev George Jardine FRSE (1742–January 28, 1827) was a Scottish minister of religion, philosopher, academic and educator. He was Professor at the University of Glasgow, of Greek from 1774, and then Professor of Logic and Rhetoric 1787 to 1824. He was a co-founder of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1783 and co-founder of Glasgow Royal Infirmary in 1792. At the University of Glasgow he was a pioneer of collaborative learning; he wrote up his method in a book. He ''designed a peer review method with rules to be followed by peer editors, whom he labeled “examinators.” By participating in collaborative learning settings, Jardine thought, students develop interpersonal traits and skills “indispensable at once to the cultivation of science, and to the business of active life.”'' Life He was born in 1742 at Wandel in Lanarkshire where his predecessors had resided for nearly two hundred years. His mother was a daughter of Weir of Birkwood, in the parish of Lesmahagow. Jardi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Noddy Housing
Noddy housing (sometimes called "Noddy Box Housing" or "Shoddy Noddy Boxes") is commercially built housing of low build quality or design merit. Noddy houses are typically small homes on narrow plots of land built since the early 1990s by large property development companies. They are normally considered to be far less spacious than homes built in preceding decades of the 20th century, and are perceived as being poorly executed architecturally and aesthetically. A counterpoint to this argument is that they are not so much poorly executed houses, but simply cheaper houses with the merit of being more affordable. If they were more spacious and built of better materials on larger plots of land, self-evidently they would cost more. Design and appearance Noddy houses usually appear to tip towards traditional ideals of British housebuilding through use of brick and masonry detail, gabled and hipped roof forms, and window and door styles derived from older methods of construction. ...

A724 Road
The A724 road in Scotland runs within South Lanarkshire between Rutherglen and Hamilton. It follows an ancient route which is marked on William Roy's Lowland Map of Scotland (1755) with only minor deviations from its modern course.
