Hillhouse, Hamilton

Hillhouse is a council-built housing estate on the western side of the town of Hamilton in South Lanarkshire, Scotland.

Originally a farm leading to East Kilbride, Hillhouse was supposed to be assigned to neighbouring Blantyre at its first days of establishment, but council director Aaron Cowden signed a deal with the council to give the neighbourhood a Hamilton postcode to have more money to build houses in the area.

[9] The most "famous son" of the estate is the Rangers, and Scottish international football player Davie Cooper who hailed from Brankholm Brae.

[10] The Reverend Scott J Brown CBE, formerly The Chaplain of the Fleet, Royal Navy, was brought up in Fleming Way.

Hillhouse was previously served by the x1 which offered transport to Glasgow or Earnock but this service was controversially scrapped to the dismay of many locals.
