Background
History
This ancient settlement which is associated with the early Christian missionary Saint Cadoc, has a medieval street plan set within the lands of an estate held by variously the Morays of Bothwell, the Earls of Douglas and eventually to the Lords, Marquesses and Dukes of Hamilton until 1700 when it passed to the Stuarts of Castlemilk. There are many cottages in the village that date back to the 1600's, and it is the last remaining village situated within the Glasgow City council area. The World’s Strongest Man competition started life in a garage in the village.
