Rouken Glen Park (Named the best park in the UK.)????????????????????????????
Rouken Glen is described as “a place for people and nature”. Rouken Glen Park has been voted by the public as the Scotland's Best Park at the prestigious annual Fields in Trust Awards 2017.
Rouken Glen Park in East Renfrewshire, Scotland, has been named the best park in the whole of the UK.
The East Renfrewshire park was crowned the country's finest by the national charity Fields in Trust at its annual awards event.
Nestled within the historic Rouken Glen Park, you’ll find these gorgeous, cascading waterfalls.
About six miles outside of Glasgow, in East Renfrewshire, Rouken Glen Park covers a massive 143 acres of land. Steeped in history, the park dates back to 1530, and has been open to the public since 1906. It was even voted the UK’s Best Park back in 2016
The park is a perfect spot for quiet contemplation, with beautiful woods and gardens to explore and a big boating lake to admire. However, the main attraction is arguably the impressive waterfalls found dotted around. Somewhere between natural and man-made, these spectacular water features were somewhat rearranged (and enlarged!) a couple of hundred years ago, when they were used as a means of power by Victorian textile workers. The remains of the textile works are still there, including iron beams and exposed wooden boards.
In the summer months, the walled garden is open Monday to Thursday 10am–6.45pm, and Friday to Sunday 10am–4.30pm (or 10am to 3pm in the winter). The Pavilion Visitor Centre is open 9am-5pm in the summer, and 10am–4pm in the winter. The park is accessible from Whitecraigs train station, which is just 20 minutes from Glasgow Central.

Places to see in ( East Kilbride - UK )
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.
( East Kilbride - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of East Kilbride . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in East Kilbride - UK

Old Photographs Eaglesham East Renfrewshire Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Eaglesham in East Renfrewshire. Eaglesham is located 10 miles south of Glasgow to the southeast of Newton Mearns, south of Busby and Clarkston, and southwest of East Kilbride. The ancient seat of the Earls of Eglinton; in the 17th century Eaglesham was a small market town; the present village was founded in 1769 by Alexander Montgomerie, 10th Earl of Eglinton; it had at one time handloom weaving and a cotton mill. Eaglesham House or Eaglesham Castle as it was known locally, was built in 1859 by the Gilmour brothers. James and Allan Gilmour had bought the estate of Eaglesham from the Earl of Eglinton in 1844. Allan Gilmour had been a founder and partner in the firm of Pollok and Gilmour, ship owners and timber importers until retiring in 1839. The mansion was designed in the Scots baronial style with a square tower as the dominating feature. In the grounds of the mansion house there were offices, gardens, two lodge houses, parks and plantations. Unfortunately, this grand mansion was badly damaged by fire in 1954 and was not rebuilt. The village is an example of an early Scottish planned village.it takes its name from the French word eglise, or church, earning this as a result of its apparent abundance of places of worship in the past. Polnoon Street in Eaglesham was once known as North Street and borrows its name from Polnoon Estate. Sir John de Montgomerie built a castle at Polnoon with the poind money that he received for the release of Lord Percy following the Battle of Otterburn. There have been several suggestions as to the meaning of the name Eaglesham but the most likely explanation is that Eaglesham means kirkton or church town derived from the Gaelic word eaglais meaning church and the Saxon ham meaning hamlet or village. In 1361, Sir John de Montgomerie of Eaglesham and Eastwood married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Hugh de Eglinton of that Ilk and niece of King Robert II. Sir John obtained the baronies of Eglinton and Ardrossan upon Sir Hugh's death in 1374. Afterwards the Montgomeries made Eglinton Estate their chief residence. In 1388, Sir John de Montgomerie captured Henry, Lord Percy at the Battle of Otterburn. It is traditionally believed that Sir John accepted a ransom for his prisoner who killed the 2nd Earl of Douglas and built Polnoon Castle on a small hillock on what appears to be an earlier motte. Polnoon castle was refurbished for occupation in 1617 but was ruined by 1676

ABOUT US
At age 50 we left our jobs, sold most of our belongings, and decided to follow our dream of international travel for seven to nine months a year. Our goal is not to visit the most countries or see the most sites in a short amount of time, but to spend several months in each county that we visit, becoming immersed in the local area. When not traveling internationally, we hope to spend time visiting various beaches, cities, and national parks across the United States. We will show not only where we are going and what we are doing, but also provide practical advice on how to travel and explore on a reasonable budget in a relaxed and leisurely manner. Follow along as we figure out how to navigate our early retirement and semi-nomadic life.
