I live in Rutherglen Scotland. I'm interested in the history between towns here and in Australia. Any ideas

Question

I know there is a town somewhere in Australia called Rutherglen. Thank you in advance

Answer 1

you could always look it up on wikipedia?

Answer 2

I'm not sure what you're asking.  If you are referring to same place names... like Perth, Glenrowan and Inverloch (etc), the majority of Australian place names are either aboriginal in origin, or named after somewhere in the U.K.  Hence, New South Wales -- although why the South of Wales is so noteworthy I have no clue.  LOL

As for Rutherglen... it's in Victoria.  It's greatest claim to fame is for its wines.  Something I doubt it shares with its namesake in Scotland.  LOL  However, I do know Rutherglen is a beautiful part of the state (having been there many times); something I presume it DOES share with its namesake.

For more information, I suggest you go to their local website... www.rutherglenvic.com

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

There's the Rutherglen Wine Region in Victoria.  Famous for cool climate wines, especially the Reds
