An ancient settlement which was once primarily a mining village, and earlier the site of the Battle of Bothwell Bridge in 1679, Bothwell is an affluent commuter town that has attracted a number of local celebrities including a number of professional footballers.
Thanks to a steady rise in property prices, Bothwell has a reputation as one of Glasgow's most prosperous satellites.
In 2019, "Earls Gate" which overlooks Bothwell Castle was named Greater Glasgow's most expensive street, with an average price tag of £1,125,000.

The houses surrounding the Main Street are of older sandstone Victorian style whereas the newer part of the Bothwell consists of estates built in close proximity to Bothwell Castle and intertwined with Bothwell Castle Golf club.
The new houses have significantly increased the population.
As of 2008 the population of Bothwell was estimated at 3,000, with the local council ward in combination with Uddingston established a year earlier.
The majority of Bothwell's residents own their own property, and annual incomes are well above average.
The average house costs £556,250.
