Lanarkshire's story
Lanarkshire, connected to Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland's two great cities, by major motorways, airports and rail links, is one of the UK's most successful business locations.
Famous as a source of energy, gold, silver, precious stones, minerals, dairy and farm produce, Lanarkshire was known as a treasure house in Scotland.
