Quothquan (also formerly spelled Couth-Boan, meaning "the beautiful hill";[1] Scottish Gaelic: A’ Choitcheann, pronounced [ə ˈxɔʰtʲçən̪ˠ], meaning "the common"[2]) is a village in Libberton parish, South Lanarkshire, Scotland.[1] It is 3+1⁄4 miles (5.2 km) northwest of Biggar, and 7+1⁄2 miles (12.1 km) southeast of Lanark.

To the southwest is the 1,098-foot (335 m) high hill Quothquan Law, topped by the remains of a hill fort. The hill comprises two elements, one is an enclosure to the southeast which is around 400 by 230 feet (120 by 70 m). The other is a lower larger annexe to the northwest, with double ramparts and a medial ditch which has mostly been filled in.[3]

Quothquan has a village hall near the remains of the graveyard and the ruins of a small church. The original church was recorded in use as a schoolroom after 1724.[4] A new church in the village was paid for in 1903 by Glasgow shipowner Sir Nathaniel Dunlop, who lived nearby.[5]
