Lanarkshire – Home to Scotland’s biggest Theme Park
Lanarkshire was once the most populated county in Scotland, but its boundaries have shrunk considerably over the years. The land in the county is made up of hills and moorland, providing excellent pasture for sheep and dairy farming.
Wilsontown in Carnwath saw the first ironstone works in Lanarkshire in 1781, by 1879 there were 314 iron-works with 5149 puddling furnaces in operation, making Lanarkshire the second largest iron industry in Scotland (Ayrshire being the biggest). There were also a number of lead mines and 392 coal pits existed in 1881.
