Cambusnethan history

---

Cambusnethan, as it was known was established in the 11th century, with the parish church standing on the banks of the River Clyde. The modern settlement began some time after the Middle Ages, but remained a small hamlet. It grew massively alongside its neighbour, Wishaw, during the Industrial Revolution.

Cambusnethan etymology

The establishment of an early medieval church of the same name suggests that the name is Celtic in origin. The “Cambus” part of the name would come from “caman/camas/camn” a word that could be either Gaelic or Cumbric and means a bend or meander. “Nethan” is harder to pinpoint. It could come from a corruption of Ninian, who travelled through southern Scotland.
