Rutherglen's historic industries were fruit farming and flower growing, but it's location close to the navigable River Clyde meant shipbuilding was always practiced locally, at first for transport and pleasure, but later on an industrial scale. Local employment is largely provided by the Local Authority and the [[King Corportation]] which recently opened an office on the north side of Main Street next to the criminal court.

Local Attractions include the nearby Museum of Scottish Football at Hampden Park and the ruin of St. Mary's Parish Church around which the ancient Burgh was formed.
