I am trying to find out about the history of my home and my town, Uddingston, Scotland?
I have already been to the library.
Uddingston is a village in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, on the north side of the River Clyde, approximately seven miles to the south-east of Glasgow.
It is home to Tunnock’s factory, famed for its caramel wafers and teacakes. The factory contributes much to the village’s economy as does the industrial estate located on the Bellshill Road. In earlier times mining was a major industry, with the long lost village of Flemington an example of a settlement that failed to survive following the closure of its pit.
Uddingston has a police station, traditional main street shops, pubs and rail station. It also has several sports clubs including a rugby club, a bowling and tennis club, Calderbraes Golf Club and a junior football club Thorniewood United.
The nearest big towns are Bellshill and Cambuslang: Bellshill is one stop along the Motherwell via Bellshill line, and Cambuslang can be accessed by all services except three per day. Local folk are known as the Villagers.
Uddingston has been home to successful sports people, in football Lindsay Hamilton goalkeeper with Stenhousemuir, Rangers, St Johnstone and Dunfermline, Jimmy Johnstone and George McCluskey, both of Celtic. David Kettle, who won numerous Scottish age group swimming titles in the late 1970s and early 1980s, also came from Uddingston.
Uddingston has also been known to win the Scotland in Bloom compitition and be runners-up in the Britain in Bloom competition, thanks to the help of Uddingston Pride and the community.

Traveling Wilburys (2 CD / 1 DVD) $15.43 The Traveling Wilburys were one of the few supergroups that lived up to their promise, because they didn’t try to. Things started inauspiciously when George Harrison, needing a B-side for a 1988 single, called in friends Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison for assistance. Two albums later–the second without Orbison, who had passed away shortly after the first was released–the loose… |

Songs in the Key of Life $10.77 Songs in the Key of Life (1976) was the highest high point of Stevie Wonder’s career. More sprawling than Innervisions and Talking Book, this two-LP-plus-EP was also less of a consistent stunner than either of those masterworks. That Songs retains an enormous amount of visionary relevance, though, is demonstrated not only in Coolio’s borrowing of “Pastime Paradise” as a template for “Gangsta’s Par… |

Mary, Queen of Scots [VHS] $14.98 As costume dramas go, this is a passionate and feisty one, keyed by the ever-luminous Vanessa Redgrave in the title role and the sharp-edged Glenda Jackson as her jealous cousin, Queen Elizabeth I (who knew a thing or two about palace intrigue). Mary, who was raised in France as a Catholic, claims the Scottish crown from her mother upon her death. But she runs up against religious prejudice, both… |

The Healers: A History of Medicine in Scotland $36.4 Scotland offers almost unique opportunities for medical historians. For a conventional history, there is a rich stock of famous doctors and their discoveries. There are also the contributions of four ancient universities and three equally old colleges of physicians and surgeons. For historians of public health there is the famous struggle against the problems of the industrial revolution and the lives and works of the great sanitary reformers in Glasgow and Edinburgh. For the social historian there are equal opportunities in the diversity of the health care in the Highlands and Lowlands, the rich traditions of Scottish folk medicine and the interactions of Scottish and English medical practice. Much else can be learnt in relating Scotlands great innovative periods to her cultural and political state at the time. It is perhaps surprising therefore that there are no uptodate accounts of any of these aspects of health and health care in Scotland. . . . there are now many new sources available and new questions to be asked. from the Introduction In this book, author David Hamilton explores new sources and evaluates the rich history of medicinal practices in Scotland. Thus, for historians both of medicine and of Scotland, this study is necessary to more fully understand the countrys history. Author: Hamilton, David/ Hamilton, David Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 336 Publication Date: 1999/03/31 Language: English Dimensions: 8.52 x 5.53 x 0.97 inches |
