Carluke

Carluke is best known within Scotland for its long association with orchard fruit grown in the Clyde Valley. Set on higher ground above the River Clyde in South Lanarkshire, the town belongs to a district where apples and soft fruit have been cultivated for generations. Agriculture was complemented by weaving and coal mining during Carluke’s development, while its railway station links it with Glasgow and Lanark. The town is a useful base for exploring the valley’s rural settlements and the wooded banks of the Clyde.
