The disused railway station

Lamington is a conservation village in South Lanarkshire in Scotland, roughly between Biggar and Lanark and sits astride the A702 trunk road.

It is reputed to be the home of Marion Braidfute, legendary wife of William Wallace.

It has also been claimed that the village gave its name to the Lamington sponge cake popular in Australia.[1]

Lammington features in The Scottish Chiefs.[2]
