An agricultural city in the southeast of Strathclyde County, central Scotland, UK. It was the capital of the former county of Lanarkshire until 1974. Population: 9,778 (1981). Located on a plateau near the right bank of the upper reaches of the Clyde River, it is the center of the surrounding agricultural region and has a cattle market, as well as various industries for leather, agricultural machinery, and textiles. It was founded as a royal city by David I in the 12th century, and since then Scottish kings often lived in the castle and hunted in the surrounding forests. In the 13th century, W.
