Jackton

Jackton

Jackton is a small village lying just beyond the western periphery of East Kilbride in South Lanarkshire, on the road connecting it to Eaglesham. It is also adjacent to Thorntonhall, and the two villages share a newsletter, the Peel News, derived from the name of the road connecting the two.

It is also the site of the central Training Centre for Strathclyde Police. The centre will be one of the two outdoor venues for the shooting competitions at the 20th Commonwealth Games being held in Glasgow in 2014. The area is served by Thorntonhall railway station.
