Loupin'
on Stane
The
steps which helped travellers mount their horses in the past are
still standing today. |
In
the Old Village, traces of the days long before East Kilbride became
a New Town can be found. The village was used by travellers in the
days of horse-pulled coaches, and in front of the 17th Century Montgomerie
Arms, there are steps that helped the rested travellers mount their
horses. |

Colin Baxter. They explore the length and breadth of this rich
and diverse land across the intricate jigsaw of cities, towns
