Rutherglen Town Hall (less than a 10 minute walk) was originally constructed in 1862 and following a £12.5m refurbishment this grade A listed site reopened in 2005 and is now a vital part of the community. Following its highly successful renovation, the Town Hall now houses an award winning Cafe, runs a variety of performances from dramatic plays to musicals to kids shows, can be hired for events such as meetings and conferences. The town of Rutherglen can be found some three miles south east of the centre of Glasgow and for practical, if not administrative, purposes can be regarded as a suburb of the city. It did actually form part of the City of Glasgow between local authority reorganisations in 1975 and 1996, but since then has stood at the far north western tip of South Lanarkshire. Rutherglen is built on a ridge of raised ground a little to the south of the River Clyde. This was traditionally the head of navigation of the river, and the point at which the Clyde became tidal. Rutherglen has very early origins and was for a while more important than Glasgow. It was chartered as a royal burgh in 1126 by King David I. This event is recorded in the painted inscription on the base of the mercat cross which stands in Main Street outside the magnificent Post Office and Public Library (and not far from the even more magnificent Town Hall). The mercat cross (or "mercat croce", according to the inscription) is a replica of the original, taken down in 1777, which was erected here in 1926 to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the granting of the royal charter. Rutherglen is well worth visiting, and has plenty to remind the visitor of its history. At its heart is the extremely broad Main Street, a legacy of the horse fairs once held here. The castle is long gone, as is the tolbooth that stood on the north side of the street until demolished in 1900. The centre of attention is inevitably the imposing Town Hall, built to impress in 1861-2. A little to its west is Rutherglen Old Parish Church. The church you see today was built in 1902, but the nearby freestanding tower is thought to date to around 1500. Nothing seems to remain of the truly "old" Old Parish Church, built in the late 1100s.
