Uddingston Area guide

The property market is notorious for high demand and short supply. Properties in these popular areas tend to sell particularly quickly regardless of the market, whether it be a one bedroom flat or detached family home.

Uddingston is probably most famous for Tunnock’s bakery, producers of the world famous Caramel Wafer and Teacake. Your Move McLaughlin can be found in the heart of the village next door to the popular Tunnock’s Tearoom.

Your Move McLaughlin is situated in the heart of the village and has a wide range of properties for sale ranging from studio flats to luxury detached villas.
