About Thorntonhall
Thorntonhall is an exclusive village in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, lying six miles to the south of Glasgow. The village lies just east to the boundary of East Renfrewshire, close to Waterfoot and Jackton. It is West of East Kilbride, and North of Eaglesham. It is served by its own railway station. Since 2000, the population has doubled to an estimated 3, 000, and is expected to rise as more homes are continuing to be built. There are no Council Houses in Thorntonhall, and this may be why the proportion of millionaires in Thorntonhall is the highest of any town or village in Scotland. In 2011, a street in Thorntonhall (Bowmore Crescent) was identified as having the most expensive average house prices within the Scottish property market, with an average house price of £908, 000. It is consistently the top desired home location in Scotland, and among the top five desired locations in the UK. HistoryThorntonhall has a history reflecting the social changes of the last 400 years and in particular the last 120 years. It was originally just a farm that had added to it some major buildings. The then 'hall' was bought and greatly improved by a grocer called Cooper who had shops throughout the west of Scotland. Another grand house was built at Ravenscroft, again on a small hilltop. These two and the railway station were probably the catalyst for a great plan to build a mini-Edinburgh-style suburb of crescents and avenues. Only three houses were completed before the outbreak of World War I halted further development.
