Burnside, an affluent neighbourhood of Rutherglen, enjoys a “pleasant village feel”, according to the local estate agent, with a cluster of bustling cafes, dry-cleaners and independent retailers backing on to a grid of stone-fronted terraces with well-kept gardens.
It was here that the disgraced former MP for Rutherglen and Hamilton West, Margaret Ferrier, visited in late September 2020 – the same day she took a Covid test that subsequently proved positive.
