Crawford Village

Crawford is located beside the A74(M) halfway between here and there.

Population is around 305.7 at the last count. Don't know who did the counting.

There are three hotels and a Village shop. The Village Hall hosts various groups. The local primary school serves the Crawford and Elvanfoot areas. The High School is located about 18 miles away in Biggar and a coach service is provided to ferry the children to Biggar. Unfortunately, this coach also brings them back in the afternoon.
