Rigside is a small village in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, about from the town of Lanark, and less than from Douglas Water. It lies on the A70 road to Ayr, and has approximately 800 inhabitants.
Rigside is a former mining village. The village has one shop, a takeaway cafe, a public house, and a doctor's surgery. The village has very limited public transport links so most of the villagers have access to a car. The village has a nursery and primary school, both located on Muirfoot Road next to the recently upgraded play park and skate park.
