In the oldest part of The Village there is a cobbled street and a large pub, the Montgomerie Arms, the building for which dates back to the 1650s – the "loupin' on stane", used by inn patrons for mounting their horses, still stands outside the premises. East Kilbride Thistle F.C.'s home ground and social club, the Show Park, is also located in the area.
