The EK Art centre was originally Bosfield House which at one time was home to William Strang. He was born in 1845.
The following exert is taken from http://www.glasgowwestaddress.co.uk/1909_Glasgow_Men/Strang_William.htm
"He resides at Bosfield House, East Kilbride, on a small estate which has belonged to his wife's family for several generations. It is interesting to recall the fact that the beautifully wooded glen on his own estate of Millhouse was the scene of many Covenanters' conventicles, and of one great Sunday gathering in particular, attended by several thousand worshippers, at which upwards of sixty children were baptised in the River Cart.
Mr. Strang is sixth in direct descent from Christopher Strang, the Covenanter, laird of the small estate of Lickprivick, who took part in the Pentland Rising, and, after receiving quarter at Rullion Green, was executed at Edinburgh, 7th December, 1666. The head of the Covenanter, after standing on Hamilton Tolbooth for twenty-two years, lies with three others in Hamilton Kirkyard under a quaint memorial which Mr. Strang has taken pains to preserve"
This interestingly links to the Martyr Cache just down the road :)
