Boghead is a residential area, with working residents commuting to nearby villages and large towns of Lesmahagow, Strathaven and Lanark. It is composed of houses built along Strathaven Road (the B7086) and Lesmahagow Road. It originated in the early 19th century around the old Blackwood Estate, as the original inhabitants used to work there.
