(''Siorrachd Lannraig'' in
Gaelic ) was formerly a
County of
Scotland .
It was bounded to the north by
Stirlingshire and a detached portion of
Dunbartonshire , to the northeast by Stirlingshire,
West Lothian and
Midlothian , to the east by
Peeblesshire , to the southeast and south by
Dumfriesshire , to the southwest by Dumfriesshire and
Ayrshire and to the west by Ayrshire,
Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire.
In 1975 the
County Council was superseded by the
Strathclyde Region , which itself was superseded by
Unitary Authorities in 1996. Lanarkshire is now covered by the council areas of
North Lanarkshire ,
South Lanarkshire , and the
City Of Glasgow .
North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire have a joint board for valuation and electoral registration. There is also a joint health board, which does not cover
Rutherglen and the surrounding area in South Lanarkshire. Without the northern portion of North Lanarkshire, this is also a
Lieutenancy Area .
