In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Nemphlar like this:

Nemphlar, a village in Lanark parish, Lanarkshire, on the high grounds (605 feet) above the right bank of the Clyde, 2 miles WNW of Lanark town. It lies among beautiful braes, straggling along them for a considerable distance; covers the site of an ancient chapel of the Knights Templars; and has a public school.—Ord. Sur., sh. 23, 1865.
