Philipshill is an area of the Scottish new town East Kilbride, in South Lanarkshire.
The name now mostly applies to a small traditional hamlet close to the NMS museum of country life, as well as a nearby hotel and set of office buildings on the edge of the Peel Park campus.
Philipshill was originally a much larger territorial unit within the old Lordship of East Kilbride.
Its borders included the estate of Hairmyres to the south which was distinguished as Over Philipshill.
[1] The name is widely believed to derive from the Anglo-Norman High Chamberlain of Scotland in the late twelfth century - Philip de Valognes, with dating and place-name analysis in support of this as a probable conclusion[2][3][4] The lands originally focused on a mill called Philipshill Mill, and possibly a strategic royal castle on a linked side of the Kittoch Water - a small river flowing through the said lands.
