Harthill is a rural village split between North Lanarkshire and West Lothian in Scotland, with most of the village in North Lanarkshire. It is located about halfway between Glasgow, to the west, and Edinburgh, to the east. It lies on the River Almond about west of the small town of Whitburn. The closest major towns are Bathgate, away, and Livingston, away. Major towns within North Lanarkshire, such as Wishaw, Airdrie, Motherwell, Coatbridge and Bellshill are all around to the west. The M8 motorway bypasses the village and Harthill has a service station named after it.
