More about East Kilbride Scotland
East Kilbride (Cille Bhr?hde an Ear in Scottish
Gaelic) is a large town in South Lanarkshire, Scotland.
It is Scotland's sixth largest town by population size,
and the largest of the country's new towns.
East Kilbride is located on high ground, about 15km (9
miles) south of Glasgow, and 8km (5 miles) west of
Hamilton. East Kilbride sits on the Rotten Calder river.
The earliest evidence of habitation in the area dates
back to ancient graves found near the Kype Water to the
south of the district. Roman coins and footwear have
also been found in the area.
East Kilbride takes its name from an Irish saint, St
Bride (or Brigit) who founded a monastery for nuns and
monks in Kildare, Ireland in the 6th century. Irish
monks introduced her cult to Scotland. Kil means church
or burial place.
East Kilbride emerged from a small village of around 900
inhabitants to become a large burgh in 1930, and then a
busy new town (the first in Scotland, designated in
1947) with a population of over 81,000 (estimate in
2006).
Twinned with the city of Ballerup in Denmark, the town
lost out to Stirling in 2002 to be granted city status
for the Queen's Golden Jubilee, and prior to that it
lost out to Inverness in 2000 as the Millennium city.
The town is occupied by a large shopping centre,
comprising 6 separate shopping departments, but known by
local residents as "The Town Centre". This holds the
title of largest indoor shopping centre in Scotland and
10th largest in Europe. The six malls are The Plaza
(development started in 1972), Princess Mall (1984),
Olympia (1988), Southgate (1989), Princes Square (1997)
and Centre West (2003). The shopping centre has come
under recent criticism for losing major retail chains in
light of rising rental prices. This coupled with the
Centre West expansion and decreasing shopper numbers has
allowed swathes of properties within the centre to
remain closed for months at a time, notably on the first
floor of Centre West and the Plaza
A ?400m redevelopment of East Kilbride town centre has
been given the go-ahead by South Lanarkshire Council.
The plan would demolish some existing buildings to
create a new civic centre, a state-of-the-art health
centre, a library and shopping facilities.
It would also see a "landmark" arts and culture complex
with a 1,000-seat theatre, a 500-seat conference centre,
a museum and a new town square.
Parking spaces in the town centre would increase from
3,000 to 8,700 spaces.The first stage of the plan could
start later this year, with completion of the major
elements in 2012/2013. It is hoped the project - the
various phases of which will require full planning
permission - will create up to 3,000 temporary jobs over
the 10-year construction programme and 2,000 permanent
jobs.
The new civic and health facilities would be created at
the site currently occupied by Plaza Tower, which would
be demolished, with the theatre and arts facilities
being created at the adjoining Olympia Centre.
The current civic centre and the adjoining Hunter Health
Centre would be demolished to make way for the first
phase of development, which would include a major food
retail store.
Former/current residents include musicians Roddy Frame
(Aztec Camera), the Reid brothers (The Jesus and Mary
Chain), Alex McGhie (Fake Gods), footballer Ally
McCoist, television presenter Lorraine Kelly and actor
John Hannah.
