Carluke
Carluke is a town situated in the centre of the Lanarkshire countryside in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is 4.7 miles northwest of Lanark and 4.2 miles southeast of Wishaw, sitting on a high plateau overseeing the River Clyde, directly in the centre of Lanarkshire's fruit growing region. In accordance with a population survey in 2008, it has a permanent population of about 19500, which makes it the Clyde Valley's most populated town. Carluke's expansion began most quickly through the time of the industrial revolution, with corn milling, cotton weaving, coal mining along with the manufacture of bricks, glass, confectionary and jam becoming the town's most important industries. Now, Carluke is predominantly a commuting town. The town is served by dual carriageways connecting it to the M8 and M74, and it also benefits from regular trains to Lanark, Motherwell, Hamilton, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Despite this, there are several big employers based within the town. Resulting from Carluke's close proximity to Clyde Valley's main fruit growers, the jam company, Renshaw Scott, is a significant employer, which developed further by recently adding a chocolate refinery to their plant. Important redevelopment works have been completed in the town since the beginning of the 21st century. There is certainly a sizeable variety of independent retailers and supermarkets in the vibrant and newly regenerated town centre, with residents of neighbouring villages, including Braidwood, Forth, Kilncadzow and Law, taking advantage of the wide array of shops and services that can be found in Carluke. In 2010, a '1.1 million indoor soft play and cafe', 'The Bubbles Factory', was constructed, which was voted 'The best Play in the UK'. For all of your home upgrades, ensure that that you employ trustworthy experts in Carluke to make sure that you get the top quality.
