This ancient settlement which is associated with the early Christian missionary Saint Cadoc, has a medieval street plan set within the lands of an estate held by variously the Morays of Bothwell, the Earls of Douglas and eventually to the Lords, Marquesses and Dukes of Hamilton until 1700 when it passed to the Stuarts of Castlemilk.
The village is a popular residential area. The village has its own primary school (Carmunnock Primary School) with around 178 pupils.[2] There is also a newsagent/village shop.
The village hosts its own Highland Games.[3]
