Geocache Description:

Back in September, the Carbuncle Award for the worst town of 2010
was given to John O' Groats, but of relevance to this cache, the
winner of the worst new building category was The St James Retail
Park in East Kilbride or so I read in The Metro. The cache location gives an ideal location to view this award winning building.

Here's a link to the Metro story although to be fair I couldn't find evidence of this anywhere else:
(visit link)

I'm not really sure of the best way to get to GZ. I suggest parking
at Redwood Avenue and walking over the disused bridge until you
come to a track which will lead you over the area of boggy ground.
It took me ~10 min to get to the cache location by this route.
Waterproof footwear is a must! I was hoping that the cache location
would be remote/inaccessible enough to be fairly unspoilt but there
was a little litter and some evidence of Bucky activity.
The container is a largish screw top tupperware tub. There are a
few swaps inside but nothing too special I'm afraid.

Update: Chenks is right. The easiest route is over the bridge near DFID/railway station.
