Netherburn

Netherburn is a rural village in the council area of South Lanarkshire, Scotland. In 2011 it had a population of 740. It is located four miles south east of Larkhall and within the historic parish of Dalserf.

==History == The village consists of two distinct parts: an older settlement at a crossroads consisting of some sandstone bungalows 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 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 (5 classes and nursery), previously located in the old part, has been rebuilt in the space between the two alongside the community centre, playpark and war memorial. The new school building opened in 2011. The local shop/post office is located in the newer part.
