Hog Roast East Kilbride
East Kilbride was classed as Scotland’s 1st ‘new town’ in 1947, one of 6 which was developed to combat the problem of overcrowding in Glasgow, which is 10 miles north of the town. The history of the settlement dates back much further than that however and it is said to be named after the Celtic Goddess Brigid, who was widely worshipped in the area before the introduction of Christianity.
There is plenty to do in and around East Kilbride for people who enjoy being active. For those who like the water, there is the Dollan Aqua Centre, and the James Hamilton Heritage Park, a 16 -acre loch which provides a range of water sports activities and RYA certified sailing lessons. There are also a lot of interesting sites for nature lovers, such as the Calderglen Country Park, which has its own zoo and tropical conservatory, a peaceful nature trail and natural waterfalls, as well the Langlands Moss Nature Preserve, which is a protected peat bog site.
East Kilbride has always made the most of its natural resources and it houses the largest on-shore wind farm in the whole of the UK, which has a visitor’s centre so people can learn more about how this natural energy is harnessed and used. More can also be learnt about East Kilbride’s agricultural heritage at the National Museum of Rural Life’s fully operational replica of a 1950s farm.
