Quothquan


Quothquan is a village in Libberton parish, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is northwest of Biggar, and southeast of Lanark. Quothquan has a village hall near the remains of the graveyard and the ruins of a chapel.
To the southwest is the high Quothquan Law, topped by the remains of a hill fort. The hill comprises two elements, one is an enclosure to the southeast which is around. The other is a lower larger annexe to the northwest, with double ramparts and a medial ditch which has mostly been filled in.
The name is derived from Gaelic and translates as "The Common".
The church in the village was paid for in 1903 by Glasgow shipowner Sir Nathaniel Dunlop, who lived nearby.
