Rutherglen Central and North

Rutherglen Central and North ward encompasses the historic town centre and its immediate northern residential neighbourhoods. The area is defined by its main thoroughfare, Stonelaw Road, and the quieter grid of streets surrounding Rutherglen Links park. This public green space, with its bowling greens and children's play areas, serves as a focal point for the community. Housing here is primarily a mix of traditional sandstone tenements and semi-detached homes.

The ward's core is the pedestrianised section of Main Street, containing essential shops, services, and the local library. The Town Hall, a prominent building, hosts various civic functions and events. A notable local landmark is the 12th-century Rutherglen Old Parish Church, situated on the site of a medieval castle. The area is well-connected by public transport, including the Rutherglen railway station which provides direct links to central Glasgow.
