Motherwell (district)
Motherwell (Scottish Gaelic: ''Tobar na Màthar'', Scots: ''Mitherwall'') was a local government district in the Strathclyde region of Scotland from 1975 to 1996, lying to the south-east of the regional capital Glasgow.

Historically in the parish of Dalziel and part of Lanarkshire, Motherwell is the headquarters for North Lanarkshire Council.

Motherwell is also geographically attached to Wishaw and the two towns form a large urban area in North Lanarkshire, with both towns having similar populations and strong community ties.

At this crossing a fort and bath house were erected, but the Roman presence in Scotland did not last much later than this. Moth ...
