Looking south-west from over the park with Montgomery Street on the left and Polnoon Street on the right.

Eaglesham was designed in the shape of a letter “A”, supposedly based on the initials of Alexander Montgomerie and his wife, Ann Polnoon. The shape is apparent except that Mid Road, across the central space - The Orry - is hidden by trees.

On the horizon is Whitelee wind farm, still said to be the largest in Europe.
