Things to see & do in Strathaven
Strathaven is one of Scotland's best kept secrets - The Jewel in the Crown of South Lanarkshire.
Strathaven is a place with many historical associations and grew up as a market town around and under the protection of a strong castle - the ruins of which still exist on a rocky crag by the main thoroughfare and forms a central focus of the town to this day.
The old part of the town, around the main square, the Common Green, has an antiquated appearance with narrow and irregular streets. Sitting prettily in a basin valley on the banks of the Powmillion rivulet which runs through its centre.
