East Kilbride United Kingdom

East Kilbride was Scotland's first designated 'New Town', expanded to provide new housing for people moving from nearby Glasgow. The town used to hold a pre-Christian sacred well dedicated to the Celtic goddess Brigid, which gives the town its name. East Kilbride's original parish church was built on the site of the well, and the current church on this site dates from 1774. St Bride's Church is another notable landmark, being an example of 20th century British ecclesiastical architecture and a Category A-listed building. A statue of Sir Walter Scott can also be seen found in the town and is known locally as 'The White Man'.
