Jackton Gardens by Miller Homes Scotland West

Jackton Gardens is just six minutes drive from the A726 and around 25 minutes from central Glasgow. Frequent trains between East Kilbride and Glasgow Central stop at Hairmyres station, two miles away, and there are plans to create a transport hub with a new station closer to the development. Glasgow is less than half an hour away by rail.

The shops and services proposed for the neighbourhood, including a new primary school, will complement existing precincts such as Greenhills, where there is a convenience store and post office, a pharmacy, an Iceland store and food takeaways as well as a health centre, a dentist and a local library. A little further away, there is a Lidl supermarket and a Retail Centre near Hairmyres Hospital, operating a 24-hour A&E department.

In addition to the projected new Jackton Primary School, the development is in the catchment areas for Our Lady of Lourdes Primary, Calderglen Secondary and St Andrews and St Brides secondary schools. East Kilbride town centre is a popular shopping destination, where the local traders, pubs and cafés of the Village area offer a contrast to the popular indoor EK Centre with its vast selection of high street retailers, restaurants, cinema, ice rink, gym and other services and amenities.

The adjacent countryside and woodland offer endless opportunities for exploration on foot or bicycle, and there is a children’s playground a few yards away. Nearby golf courses include Bonnyton and Cathkin Braes, set in the beautiful Cathkin Braes Country Park.
