Although considered part of Uddingston, it lies within a separate local authority area. Tannochside is contained within the boundaries of North Lanarkshire council whereas the original village of Uddingston is in South Lanarkshire. Tannochside is between the Birkenshaw and Viewpark areas of Uddingston. Tannochside is part of the Greater Glasgow conurbation. It is often debated as to where the borders lie between Tannochside and other nearby areas of Uddingston such as Viewpark and Birkenshaw. One suggested border is Aitkenhead Road, a main road which splits housing areas adjacent to Scotmid and a local water tower.
