Carluke is in Clydesdale.
Home to over 15,000 people, Carluke is the largest town in Clydesdale, however it is relatively small compared to other towns in South Lanarkshire (the local authority area), with Hamilton and East Kilbride having populations of around 53,000 and 75,000 respectively. Its history dates back to at least 1315 and, in 1662 the town was given the status of Royal Burgh. Originally a market town, Carluke flourished during the era of industrialisation with such work as corn milling, cotton weaving and coal mining being undertaken here, as well as the manufacture of commodities such as bricks, glass and confectionary, with one 19th century jam factory continue to operate in the town to this day.
