Places to see in ( East Kilbride - UK )
East Kilbride is the largest town in South Lanarkshire in Scotland. East Kilbride is also designated as Scotland's first new town on 6 May 1947. East Kilbride lies on high ground on the south side of the Cathkin Braes, about 8 miles (13 km) southeast of Glasgow and close to the boundary with East Renfrewshire.
East Kilbride is enclosed by the White Cart River to the west and the Rotten Calder to the east, the latter flowing northwards to join the River Clyde near Cambuslang. This area was previously the site of the small village of East Kilbride, prior to its post-war development.
East Kilbride forms part of the Greater Glasgow conurbation. However, the urban area is not directly connected to any other. The hamlets of Nerston and Jackton which were once separate settlements are now on the periphery of the expanding town.
Clarkston and Busby are also about 3 miles away to the west, with Thorntonhall much closer. Eaglesham lies to the south-west (again this is about 3 miles from East Kilbride centre). Another modern bypass keeps East Kilbride traffic heading for the M77 motorway away from Eaglesham. The closest town to the south of East Kilbride is Strathaven, about 7 miles away. The majority of land in that area is taken up by Whitelee Wind Farm.
East Kilbride is divided into a number of smaller areas bordered by main through-roads. Part of the new town design was that each of these would be a self-contained entity, with local shops and primary schools. This is true for the original areas of the town but newer developments, such as Stewartfield do not adhere to this model.
East Kilbride is connected to Glasgow city centre by road and rail. Three main roads connect East Kilbride with surrounding suburbs and the city, one being the A727 (formerly A726) leading west to Busby and on to Clarkston Toll. East Kilbride bus station, at the East Kilbride Shopping Centre, was rebuilt in June 2005 with modern facilities, including 14 rapid drive-through stances, allowing quick turnover of buses. East Kilbride railway station is situated in the Village, about a 10-minute walk from the bus station. Trains depart to Glasgow Central railway station every half-hour, with a journey time of about 27 minutes. The town is also served by Hairmyres railway station in Hairmyres.

Rutheglen & Cambuslang Photo Video Montage
Like my similar video montage of Glasgow, this is a selection of photos taken by me on a days walk through Rutherglen & Cambuslang in Scotland - a very small number of the photos were taken by others & used with permission.
Unlike the Glasgow architectural themed montage, these are mainly of buildings in Rutherglen/Cambuslang that took my fancy, although some are there because of the design styles. Hope you like them, please leave a comment if you do (or don't).

Glasgow Murals Trail | New Year's Day 2022 | Glasgow City Centre
Join Alistair and Douglas as they take a break from the Highlands and head in to Glasgow City Centre to explore the Glasgow Murals Trail. The street murals are helping to rejuvenate streets and revitalise buildings and vacant sites that look a bit tired, reincarnating them as beautiful pieces of public street art. The first art work was produced in 2008 and this portfolio of completed works has expanded since.
On this walk we'll see a number of famous murals including Saint Mungo, Billy Connolly, The Swimmer, Bubbles and more.

Old Photographs Uddingston Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Uddingston, a small town in South Lanarkshire. It is on the north side of the River Clyde, about 7 miles south east of Glasgow city centre. Uddingston railway station runs two regular hourly services on the Argyle Line and a third hourly service on the Glasgow Central to Edinburgh Line. Sir James Whyte Black was born on 14 June 1924 in Uddingston. He was a Scottish pharmacologist. Black established the physiology department at the University of Glasgow, where he became interested in the effects of adrenaline on the human heart. He went to work for ICI Pharmaceuticals in 1958 and, while there, developed propranolol, a beta blocker used for the treatment of heart disease. He was also responsible for the development of cimetidine, a H2 receptor antagonist, a drug used in a similar manner to treat stomach ulcers. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1988 for work leading to the development of propranolol and cimetidine. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
