==Geography== [[File:Stubble below Tinto.jpg|thumb|left|[[Tinto]] hill near Symington]] Lanarkshire occupies the valley of the [[river Clyde]], which crosses the county from the north-west to south-east. It is predominantly flat and agricultural, rising to the south with the [[Lowther Hills]] of the [[Southern Uplands]], with [[Culter Fell]] on the border with Peeblesshire being the highest point at 748 m (2,454 ft). In the east a small portion of the [[Pentland Hills]] lie in the county, in the vicinity of [[Tarbrax]] and [[Dunsyre]]. In the far south lies the [[Daer Reservoir]]. Northern Lanarkshire is dominated by the [[Greater Glasgow|Glasgow conurbation]], Scotland's largest city, though some small bodies of water can be found such as the Roughrigg Reservoir, Lilly Loch, Hillend Reservoir, Forrestburn Reservoir and [[Black Loch]]. Other significant settlements include [[Coatbridge]], [[East Kilbride]], [[Motherwell]], [[Airdrie, North Lanarkshire|Airdrie]], [[Blantyre, South Lanarkshire|Blantyre]], [[Cambuslang]], [[Rutherglen]], [[Wishaw]], [[Bellshill]], [[Strathaven]] and [[Carluke]].<ref>[http://www.abcounties.co.uk/counties/list.htm Association of British Counties] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120924005535/http://www.abcounties.co.uk/counties/list.htm |date=24 September 2012 }}</ref> ===Rivers=== *[[North Medwin River]] *[[South Medwin River]] *[[River Clyde]] *[[Avon Water|River Avon]] *[[South Calder Water]]
