	Strathaven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strathaven (pronounced: Stra'ven [ˈstɹeɪvn̩], meaning: valley of the Avon) is a small town in South Lanarkshire, Scotland.
		The origins of Strathaven Castle are obscure, but it is believed to have been built around 1350 by the Bairds, on a bend of the Powmillon Burn.
		Strathaven became a Burgh of barony in 1450, and still retains its traditional character despite the growth of more modern housing satisfying the needs of commuters to Glasgow.

	Strathaven Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		By the 1400s Strathaven Castle was a possession of the Black Douglases, and it was amongst their castles destroyed by James II in 1455 when he suppressed this branch of the Douglas family.
		Strathaven Castle was rebuilt in 1458 by Sir Andrew Stewart, 1st Lord Avondale, and as a result it is sometimes called Avondale Castle.
		Strathaven itself is remarkable for the number of brightly harled or pebbledashed buildings, giving the slightly surreal impression that you are walking through the set of a children's TV series.

	The Town of Strathaven (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Strathaven is a town of population 6300, located in the county of South Lanarkshire, approximately 20 miles from Glasgow.
		The name Strathaven comes from the Celtic words Strath (valley) and Avon (river or stream), as it is built close to the valley of the river Avon, and the Powmillon Burn, which joins up with the Avon, runs through the town, and was used to power the Town Mill.
		Strathaven is between 600 and 700 feet above sea level, although the surrounding countryside is slightly higher, meaning Strathaven lies in a sort of bowl.
