Burnbank is a district in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. ==Location & governance== Burnbank, previously an independent settlement, then part of Hamilton Burgh (in the historic County of Lanarkshire) and then Hamilton District (in the historic Strathclyde Region) is now a district of Hamilton within the South Lanarkshire Unitary Council. Today Burnbank is bordered by Hillhouse to the South, Laighstonehall to the South-East, Hamilton to the East, Whitehill to the North and Blantyre to the West. Burnbank is named after a tributary of the River Clyde - the Wellschaw Burn (also known as the Shawburn) which flows through the eastern areas of the district. This has been culverted for most of its passage through modern Burnbank. In historic times this stream's confluence with the Clyde lay within the district but now lies in neighbouring Whitehill. The area around the burn was still open country in some regards as late as the 1901 Census which records a Romany family "living in a field near Shawburn, Burnbank.〔http://www.journeyfolki.org.uk/Forums/tabid/690/forumid/36/postid/1454/view/topic/language/en-US/Default.aspx〕 Burnbank was a division (later ward) of the Hamilton Constituency in the House of Commons between 1918 and 1997.
