Coltness is the largest suburb of the town of Wishaw, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. The 2001 census indicated a population of almost 4,500. Lying to the north east of the town centre, Coltness is an area of mainly local authority built housing, divided into the two distinct areas of East and West Coltness. The two areas have their own unique identities and are separated by an area of woodland, with a deep gorge running through it. ==East Coltness== The larger of the two areas of Coltness, is the eastern half. Following the path of the Coltness Road from its boundary with Cambusnethan, it proceeds almost level for approximately before descending the steep South Calder Water Valley where it meets the main artery of West Coltness, North Dryburgh Road. The housing estate of Branchalwood, built in the 1960s, contains detached and semi-detached bungalows and marks the boundary of East Coltness. East Coltness has several bus services, with the local First Glasgow service number 241 running every 15 minutes from Cleland suburb to Motherwell and service ran by first Glasgow number 93 from Coltness to Carbarns, as well as other operators to, Cleland service number 248 ran by Mcnairn coaches to Coatbridge (248). There is also a once daily return express service in the peak hours to Glasgow operated by First Glasgow (X11). Most schools in Coltness are in the eastern half, with the exception of St. Aidans RC High School, which straddles the woodland separating the two areas. Other schools include a non-denominational primary school, Calderbridge Primary (an amalgamation of both Lammermoor and Coltness which occurred in 2010), a non-denominational secondary school, Coltness High School and an RC primary school, St. Aidans Primary. Two churches are located in the eastern half, St. Marks Church of Scotland, and St. Aidans RC Church. Commerce in the suburb is mainly located in the eastern side, with convenience stores located in housing areas, as well as hairdressers and takeaway foods. A petrol station, tool hire company, two supermarkets and a pharmacy are located on Coltness Road. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coltness」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
