==Etymology== The name of Rutherglen, as well as its Scots name Ruglen, is perhaps ; however, the derivation may also be Welsh or Cumbric, meaning "the valley of Rydderch" – Rydderch (pronounced 'rutherch' – 'ruther' as in 'brother' and 'ch' as in 'loch') being one of the most famous rulers associated with the Alt Clut kingdom of the early middle ages which centred on Dumbarton – but could be even older and refer to Reuther, one of the legendary kings of Scotland in the pre-Roman era.
