Eaglesham Church
East Renfrewshire

The rather nice parish church in Eaglesham, East Renfrewshire, which dates back to the time of the model village created by Alexander Montgomerie from 1769.
The church was built in 1790 and was originally octagonal.

Eaglesham is about eight miles south of Glasgow city centre and is a conservation village. There are historic links between Eaglesham and the model village of New Lanark (now a world heritage site) designed by David Dale in 1785 or so.

The site, on a raised mound, is one of several similar sites in a straight line across the landscape which includes both (probable) Pictish sites and another church at Newton Mearns.

This suggests to some that the location may have been used for worship for several thousand years.
