The town of Blantyre is a civil parish in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, just 8 miles southeast of Glasgow. There are various explanations about how Blantyre got its name. One is that ‘Blantyre’ is Gaelic for ‘the field of holy men’. Another theory explains that the name is Gaelic for ‘warm retreat’. Others explain that the town gets its name from St Blane or the Welsh word meaning ‘promontory’.

Blantyre's population increased substantially during the Industrial Revolution. A large water-powered cotton mill was erected in 1785 at Low Blantyre, which is roughly a mile northeast of High Blantyre. Coal was discovered in Blantyre at the height of the Industrial Revolution. As such, Blantyre and the surrounding areas became heavily dependent on mining.

Blantyre’s real claim to fame is being the home of the famous explorer and missionary David Livingstone. While on a trip to Africa in 1840, Livingstone immersed himself in the local customs and taught the gospel. The Zambian town of Livingstone is named after the famous missionary. The town is a few miles from the Zambezi River, which forms the border with Zimbabwe. The Livingstone Museum recounts the local history and archaeology, as well as the life of David Livingstone.
