Braidwood, South Lanarkshire

The village has one primary school which is a feeder to Carluke High School, the school educates some pupils from the village and mostly incomers from Carluke. The architecture of the old school building is noteworthy as it was in the shape of an alien spacecraft. This building was rebuilt to create a larger school in 2014. ==Location==

The village itself is situated in the Clyde Valley, around from the river Clyde. For a small village it has a good variety of signposted woodland footpaths in the valley, with unusual names such as Fiddler's Gill, and an attractive village duck pond, much used for picnics. Between the Fiddler's Gill footpath and St Oswald's farm there is an abandoned curiosity - the Braidwood telescope - a Lanark amateur astronomer's disused relic. ==See also==
