Rigside is a former mining village. The village has one shop a takeaway cafe and public house which also serves food. The village also has a very limited public transport link so most of the villagers have access to a car.

Rigside Primary School is on Muirfoot Road and has a Rigside and Rural Communities Nursery. The villagers raised money for a brand new playpark for the children of the village and are now fundraising for a skate park.


The houses in the village are heated in order by ASHP, solid fuels such as coal, oil, and LPG. There is no mains gas in the village.

There is a mixture of both private and council owned houses which are being upgraded to ASHP from solid fuel.

There is broadband in the village (up to 8 Mbit/s) but fibre broadband from BT will be available from 2016.
