Clydesdale North (ward)

Clydesdale North is one of the twenty wards used to elect members of the South Lanarkshire Council.[2][3] It elects three councillors. Its territory in historic Clydesdale covers the small market town of Lanark plus Kirkfieldbank, and a rural hinterland mostly to its north-east extending to the council border with West Lothian, which includes the village of Forth – these boundaries were unaffected by a 2017 national review. In 2019, the ward had a population of 14,777.[4]
