East Kilbride is a big, busy town tucked into the green belt just outside Glasgow. It's one of Scotland's original new towns, built after the war to ease overcrowding in the city, but over time it's grown into a place with its own identity. You'll find leafy neighbourhoods, roundabouts by the dozen, a sprawling shopping centre and plenty of local character. There's a mix of old and new across the town—bits of history, patches of countryside, and modern estates all wrapped into one sprawling, well-connected place.

The town has ancient roots, with evidence of settlement going back thousands of years, but East Kilbride as we know it was born in 1947 when it was designated Scotland's first new town. It was designed to bring people out of overcrowded tenements in Glasgow and into clean, green surroundings with modern housing, schools and jobs. The original village of East Kilbride still sits at the heart of it, with cobbled charm and historic buildings. Today, the population sits at around 75,000, making it one of the largest towns in Scotland, and it continues to grow with new housing developments and businesses popping up across the area.

There's no shortage of things to do locally. The town's most well-known attraction is the National Museum of Rural Life—set on a working farm with Highland cows, historic machinery and hands-on exhibits. Calderglen Country Park is a favourite with families, offering woodland walks, a small zoo, play parks and a café. The shopping centre—one of the biggest indoor malls in Scotland—draws in shoppers from across Lanarkshire. Not far from town, you've got Chatelherault Country Park near Hamilton, with lovely trails and a grand hunting lodge managed by Historic Environment Scotland. Over towards the Ayrshire border, Greenbank Garden, a National Trust for Scotland property, offers peaceful formal gardens and plenty of seasonal colour.

Wider South Lanarkshire is packed with things to explore. There's New Lanark, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the banks of the Clyde, which tells the story of 19th-century social reform and industry. The Clyde Valley itself is full of fruit farms, garden centres and hidden walking trails. Hamilton has its own blend of shopping, history and nature, while Strathaven is a charming market town with a real community vibe and a traditional agricultural show every summer. Whether you fancy exploring castles, picking berries, or just finding a quiet riverside spot, there's plenty going on if you're up for a short drive.

East Kilbride's well connected, with plenty of transport options. The town has several train stations—East Kilbride being the main one—with regular services to Glasgow Central in under half an hour. The road network includes the A726 and A749 which link to the M74 and M77, giving good access to the rest of the Central Belt. Buses run frequently across South Lanarkshire and into Glasgow. Glasgow Airport is around 30 minutes away by car, making holidays and business trips easy to manage. Cycling and walking paths are being improved all the time, particularly around the parks and town centre.

South Lanarkshire is a large and varied council area, stretching from urban fringes to rural hills and valleys. It includes a bit of everything—bustling towns, peaceful villages, and rolling countryside all within easy reach. The area's known for its green space, strong communities and deep ties to industry and agriculture. While parts of it are growing fast with new housing and retail, you're never too far from a bit of tranquillity or a scenic spot to walk the dog. It's a county that balances change with tradition, and it's a great place to put down roots.
