Hamilton North and East

Hamilton North and East ward encompasses residential neighbourhoods and open land on the northern and eastern fringes of Hamilton town. The area includes communities like Eddlewood and Low Waters, characterised by post-war housing schemes and modern family homes. It is bordered by the M74 motorway to the east and features the course of the Cadzow Burn winding through parts of the ward. The landscape rises towards the southern slopes of the Tinto hills, providing a rural backdrop.

A significant local feature is the David Livingstone Memorial Primary School, named for the explorer born in the nearby Blantyre mill complex. The ward contains several community parks and sports facilities, including Eddlewood Public Park. Land use is mixed, with some agricultural fields and woodland remnants, such as those around the historic Cadzow policies, interspersed with the suburban development. The area serves primarily as a commuter base for Greater Glasgow and Hamilton itself.
