Holmhills Community Park Cambuslang

Holmhills Community Park is a recreational area in the southern part of Cambuslang, a town on the south-eastern fringes of the City of Glasgow, Scotland, UK. The area is bordered to the east by Greenlees Road (opposite the entrance to Cambuslang Park), to the south by Western Road, to the west by Langlea Road (at Cathkin High School), and to the north by Grenville Drive. Originally the ground was owned by the Lahore family of Whitlawburn Farm in the western part and the other families who owned Holmhills Farm and Greenlees Farm to the east. These lands were used for grazing Guernsey cattle and growing barley until the mid-1960s when John Lahore sold his property to the then Lanark County Council (now South Lanarkshire Council) and moved to Montrose. Shortly afterwards the remaining two farmers also sold up so that, by the end of the 1960s, all the lands comprising the current park were owned by the local authority – most of the territory was converted into housing at Whitlawburn. In 2016 the park was highlighted as one of the best locations in the region for a "beautiful walk to enjoy the changing season". In 2017, decorative seating – which had been installed in the park by the local community group to allow children to explore a pond – was ruined by vandals within a week.

West Coats Primary School

West Coats Primary School is a listed building at 60 Brownside Road in Cambuslang on the south east fringe of Glasgow, Scotland. It was built in the late 19th century and is still an active school with over 400 children. It has been extended to accommodate the increasing number of pupils. The school has several classrooms, a gym/dining hall and a Computer Suite. P6 and P7 performed with Scottish Opera at a performance in February 2006. In the early 21st century, West Coats demand for places far outstrips capacity - even with the new extension erected in the upper playground (the erstwhile boys' playground) in the early 2000s. Due to the age of the buildings and the demand for places - which worsened as a large amount of new houses for young families were built in the surrounding area such as at Greenlees, while the school itself continued to receive very good ratings in inspections - the campus was extended in 2003 and refurbished in 2015–16. During the latter process, the pupils had to attend a decant facility at the former Cairns Primary School (which had itself already been rebuilt on an adjacent site) in the Halfway district of Cambuslang. As well as central Cambuslang south of the Main Street, the catchment zone for West Coats includes the Kirkhill and Holmhills (the northern part of Whitlawburn) areas.
