Newlandsmuir
suburb of East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, United Kingdom
Newlandsmuir is an area of the Scottish new town East Kilbride, in South Lanarkshire.
It is a relatively modern residential development in the southern half of the town, separating Greenhills from Mossneuk.
Its name comes from the former Newlandsmuir Farm, which was demolished during the summer of 2006 after permission was granted for a housing development. The stables and riding school operated at the farm have now moved to Sandford near Strathaven.
The area is approximately half a kilometre in diameter, and sits near the town border to the south west.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Newlandsmuir” as suburb of East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, United Kingdom. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as suburb of East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, United Kingdom. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 3, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7018346. Authority coordinates are 55.749, -4.216. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
