Hunter House Museum
Hunter House Museum was a museum in Calderwood, East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. Description Hunter House forms part of the original Long Calderwood Farm, purchased in the early 18th Century by John Hunter, father of William Hunter FRS (1718–1783) who became a leading anatomist, and John Hunter FRS (1728–1793), a physician and surgeon. The landholding itself has considerably earlier origins. Between the 1940s and 1960s the surrounding land was swallowed up by housing after East Kilbride was designated Scotland's first new town to alleviate serious housing issues, primarily in Glasgow.East Kilbride - old and new |
