Kirkstyle, originally known as Kirkstyll of Egilschamme, is one of the oldest buildings in Eaglesham. The cottage is said to be of seventeenth century origin and was occupied by Alexander Currie in 1623. The cottage was probably rebuilt in 1770 with later alterations. The 25-inch 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of Eaglesham (1863) indicates Kirkstyle to be a smithy. Polnoon Lodge http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1450255 was built in 1733 and also pre-dates the development of the planned village in 1769.
