ROSEBANK, a village, in the parish of Dalserf,
Middle ward of the county of Lanark, 2^ miles (E. S. E.)
from Larkhall; containing 184 inhabitants. It is situated
on the west side of the Clyde, which bounds the
parish on the east; and is a beautiful village, standing
nearly opposite to Mauldslie Castle. Rosebank has
arisen within the last forty years, to supply the deficiency
of dwellings occasioned by the decaying state of
the village of Dalserf; but building has latterly nearly
come to a close in it, from the want of ground for feuing.
There is a deficiency of house accommodation in this
part of the parish, and at present about forty families
reside in about twenty-five houses here. The high road
from Lanark to Glasgow passes close to the village.
