Property in East Kilbride

East Kilbride is a large suburban town in the South Lanarkshire council area, in the West Central Lowlands. Designated as Scotland's first new town in 1947, it forms part of the Greater Glasgow conurbation. The area lies on high ground on the south side of the Cathkin Braes, about 8 miles south east of Glasgow city centre and close to the boundary with East Renfrewshire. This modern town serves both as a dormitory town for the city of Glasgow and maintains its own commercial centre.
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), and another, the A749 which runs north into Rutherglen. Recently, the addition of the Glasgow Southern Orbital road links the west of the town directly with Newton Mearns and the M77. This road has taken over the designation A726. East Kilbride railway station is situated in the town with trains departing to Glasgow Central railway station every half hour, with a journey time of 27 minutes. The town is also served by Hairmyres railway station in Hairmyres.
