Uddingston,Scotland

Uddingston is a small town on the north side of the River Clyde 7 miles south east of Glasgow. Uddingston is home to the Tunnock’s factory, famed for its caramel wafers and teacakes. The family-run business was founded in 1890 and is still based in the town. Visitors can take a tour of the factory, however they are often fully booked over a year in advance. A tea room and bakery is situated one street away from the factory. Viewpark Gardens, a horticultural centre which features Japanese and Highland plant displays as well as four glasshouses and water features, is a popular attraction. An annual Summer Flower Festival is also held there. The entrance to Bothwell Castle, Scotland’s largest thirteenth century castle, is in Uddingston and the attraction is open year-round and has a golf course in its grounds.
