Greygables is located on Montgomery Street in the Village, the oldest part of East Kilbride. The Village is home to some of the town’s most distinctive landmarks, such as the Old Parish Church clock tower and the loupin’ stane, used by riders to mount horses and carriages.
Montgomery Street is East Kilbride’s oldest thoroughfare, named after the family who were lairds of the estate. It’s home to an off-licence which was once the courthouse. Next door, in ‘The Airk’ a man called Tam Wilkie, a fiddler, kept a menagerie of animals. Across the road was the old City of Glasgow Bank and the first Co-op was located in the now-demolished Big Land. In the hall above, Willie Bright taught a night school, with pupils bringing their own candles.
In the 1950’s our building was a shared doctor’s and dentist’s surgery. Then the doctors moved to the newly built Hunter Health Centre, since when it has been entirely a dental practice. The first major modernisation took place in 1991, when Robbie and Patricia Thomson assumed ownership, but the practice was extended and upgraded further in 2013.
Michael and Alastair assumed ownership of Greygables in November 2017 and look forward to continuing to provide the excellent patient care that Greygables has become renowned for.
