East Kilbride, Industrial town in South Lanarkshire, Scotland

East Kilbride stretches across residential areas, commercial zones, and green spaces, connected by a network of pedestrian walkways and cycling paths.

The settlement expanded from a small village of 900 inhabitants in 1930 to become Scotland's first designated new town in 1947.

The town maintains strong connections with its Celtic heritage through St Bride's Church and numerous religious buildings spread throughout different neighborhoods.

The East Kilbride railway station provides direct connections to Glasgow Central, while multiple bus routes serve the surrounding communities.

Workers at the local Rolls-Royce factory refused to repair Chilean military aircraft engines between 1974 and 1978, leading to a monument installation.
