Quothquan has a village hall near the remains of the graveyard and the ruins of a chapel. To the south-west is the {{convert|1098|ft|adj=on}} high Quothquan Law, topped by the remains of a hill fort. The hill comprises two elements, one is an enclosure to the south-east which is around {{convert|400|by|230|ft|-1}}. The other is a lower larger annexe to the north-west, with double ramparts and a medial ditch which has mostly been filled in.[2] The name is derived from Gaelic and translates as "The Common". The church in the village was paid for in 1903 by Glasgow shipowner Sir Nathaniel Dunlop, who lived nearby.[3] References1. ^{{cite web |title=A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland (1846), pp. 396-399. |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43473 |accessdate=2008-01-13}} {{Commons category|Quothquan}}{{South Lanarkshire Settlements}}{{SouthLanarkshire-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://canmore.org.uk/site/47465|website=Canmore|publisher=Historic Environment Scotland|title=Quothquan Law|accessdate= 30 January 2019}} 3. ^http://www.libbertonquothquan.org.uk/our-history/our-church 1 : Villages in South Lanarkshire |
