Buildings and Area

The oldest building in East Craigs is East Craigs House (coord|55|56|56|N|3|18|36|W|name=East Craigs House|region:GB_type:landmark), built in 1768 with a semi-octagonal stairwell added c.1800. It once formed part of the now-demolished SASA complex, and has recently been restored as part of the new residential development there. New developments of small family-sized houses and low-rise flats were built in the 1970s and 1980s. In the neighbouring district of Craigmount, developed before the Second World War there are numerous bungalows and spacious family houses. Craigmount High School was built in 1970 to alleviate pressure on surrounding secondary schools. A new building opened at the beginning of the 2003 academic year, built on the old playing fields of the original school. East Craigs Primary School was built in 1979 to accommodate an influx of families moving into newly-built housing nearby.

East Craigs is pleasantly green with several parks. The Bughtlin Burn flows through the area. The names of many roads and developments in East Craigs reflect the area's farming past, e.g. Hayfield, Mearenside, Burnbrae.
