things to do

The local area takes in East Kilbride and its surrounding villages as well as the little town of Strathaven. It's an area of rolling, arable farmland side by side with the hustle and bustle of hi-tech industry and one of Scotland's most successful indoor shopping areas.

Great sports facilities in the town include the ice rink at the Olympia Shopping Centre, the Dollan Aqua Centre and an adjacent park for skateboarders and wheeled sports.

There is a canoe club, a curling rink and club, and numerous sports centres.

Great country park walking and cycling routes and nature trails, superb family activities and local and regional golf courses are all on the doorstep.
