Uddingston Cross
Looking along Main Street at its junction with Bellshill Road.
Until the early 1970's when the M74 bypassed Uddingston, this was the A74 to Glasgow.

Tunnock's factory
Tunnock's is a family firm based in Uddingston.
The factory is situated alongside Old Mill Road; its front wall is decorated with a large image of a caramel wafer, and a clockface which has an image of a teacake at its centre; these are shown in detail here: Image
The low building on the left is called "The Anvil Inn".
The photo was not taken with Geograph in mind; for a less cluttered view, see Image
[Despite the sign on the factory, the firm's own products are always labelled "Tunnock's", with the apostrophe, so I've used that spelling here.]

Old milestone
This sandstone milestone is in the grounds of Uddingston Parish Church, tended by a church member. The legend reads - 6/Miles from/GLASGOW/3½ Miles from/HAMILTON. It is in Bothwell Parish. It has an ellipse oval cross-section and is about 100cm tall. Near the ground can be seen the unworked section of stone that would have been under ground level originally. There is vertical broaching on the sides and top. It was erected by the Airdrie & Shotts Turnpike Trust sometime after 1764 but this is not its original site.

Old milestone
Looking south-east along Old Glasgow Road towards the B7071. The church was built on the site of Bothwell Castle Farm pond in 1872-74. About 1852 the route to Glasgow was changed to go northwards along what is now the B7071. This milestone was originally nearly ½ mile northwest but was set up in the church grounds in the 1960s. There are only two milestones left on this route. The other Glasgow 8 is built into the wall just north of Bothwell Bridge over the R Clyde. NS70945794. Link-6097748. Both are unusual in that the distances are 'From', most milestones say 'To'.
