About Forth

Forth occupies a quiet spot in South Lanarkshire's countryside, roughly equidistant from Edinburgh and Glasgow via the M8 corridor. The A70 provides the most scenic approach from Edinburgh, crossing the Pentland Hills, whilst Glasgow-bound traffic typically uses the M74 to Junction 8. With over 50 EV charging points nearby and easy connections to Scotland's motorway network, it's well-positioned for exploring the Lowlands. The village name derives from the Scots word for "forward," marking its role as a historic waypoint.
