Greenhills is an area within the Scottish new town of East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire in Greater Glasgow.
Greenhills is a residential area on the southern boundary of the town.
The Greenhills shopping centre is situated adjacent to the highest point in East Kilbride, known locally as 'The High Point', and is the terminus for many of the local bus services to/and from Blairdardie, Summerston, the Milton and Drumchapel areas of Glasgow namingly the 18, 21 and 31 First Glasgow Bus routes.
The Greenhills area is represented at South Lanarkshire level by councillor Archie Buchanan, of the Scottish National Party, who had previously served on the now defunct East Kilbride District Council. He was also a bouncer at a local nightclub called Crystals for many years.

Famous quotes containing the word east:
“It is the business of thought to define things, to find the boundaries; thought, indeed, is a ceaseless process of definition. It is the business of Art to give things shape. Anyone who takes no delight in the firm outline of an object, or in its essential character, has no artistic sense.... He cannot even be nourished by Art. Like Ephraim, he feeds upon the East wind, which has no boundaries.”
—Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
