East Kilbride – Friday 5th September 2025

East Kilbride was designated as Scotland’s first new town in 1947 as part of a post-war programme to ease overcrowding in Glasgow.  We didn’t have long to spend here, but from what I can gather, there isn’t an outside town area with a high street, and all the shops are all within the East Kilbride Shopping Centre, which is where the Waterstones is located.
