Shotts is a small town[2] in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is located almost halfway between Glasgow (17 miles or 27 kilometres) and Edinburgh (26 miles or 42 kilometres). The town has a population of about 8,840.[3][4] A local story has Shotts being named after the legendary giant highwayman Bertram de Shotts,[5][6] though toponymists give the Anglo-Saxon scēots ("steep slopes") as the real source of the name.[7]
Shotts is the home of the world famous Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band, 16 time winners of World Pipe Band Championships.[8]
