Hunter House Museum, Category A listed house museum in Calderwood, East Kilbride, Scotland.
The Hunter House Museum occupies an 18th-century structure featuring period architecture and exhibits about local history within its preserved stone walls.
The property belonged to John Hunter, father of medical pioneers William and John Hunter, who made substantial contributions to anatomy and surgery in the 1700s.
The museum displayed collections related to East Kilbride's development from a rural settlement into Scotland's first designated new town in the 1940s.
The museum closed in February 2011, with William Hunter's collection moving to Glasgow University and John Hunter's items transferring to London's Royal College of Surgeons.
After its closure, the building reopened in 2013 as a community space featuring a volunteer-operated cafe while maintaining its Category A listed status.
