Medical Pioneers of Hunter House
The Hunter House Museum is situated in the original Long Calderwood Farm and is possibly the oldest building in East Kilbride. The house was the childhood home of two famous 18th century medical pioneers, William and John Hunter.
The museum has a variety of exhibits about the childhood, life and work of the brothers. William Hunter's collection forms the basis of the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow University, while John's is in the Royal College of Surgeons in London.
The museum also has displays on the creation of East Kilbride as Scotland’s first new town and features early photographs and records from the now defunct East Kilbride Development Corporation.
Admission to the museum is free.
