North Lanarkshire, Administrative region in Central Lowlands, Scotland
North Lanarkshire spans across urban centers and rural landscapes, with Motherwell serving as the capital of this Scottish council area.
The region emerged from the 1996 local government reorganization, transforming from an industrial powerhouse of coal mining and steel production into a modern administrative territory.
Multiple festivals throughout North Lanarkshire celebrate regional traditions, while museums and galleries preserve the industrial heritage of former mining communities.
The territory maintains strong transport connections within the Glasgow and Clyde Valley City Region, facilitating daily commutes and regional economic development.
Hartwood Psychiatric Hospital, constructed in the late 19th century, stands as a testament to the evolution of mental health care in Scotland.
