Greenhills, East Kilbride
Greenhills is an area within the Scottish new town of East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire in Greater Glasgow. Greenhills is a residential area on the south eastern boundary of the East Kilbride. The streets are named after trees, ducks and golf courses. The housing stock was built in the early to mid-1970s. The Greenhills shopping centre is situated adjacent to the highest point in East Kilbride, known locally as 'The High Point', and which is believed to be the motte of a medieval wooden castle.
