Polnoon Lodge
Polnoon Lodge was originally built as a hunting lodge in the early eighteenth century by Alexander, ninth Earl of Eglinton. Following the sale of the Eaglesham Estate in 1844 to Allan and James Gilmour, the lodge was used as the estate office for a short period of time. Later on Allan Gilmour's mother and sisters occupied the lodge for a time into the 1860s before being let. By the 1920s the lodge operated as a temperance hotel and later on as a boarding house. An annexe was used as a meeting room for local groups and societies. The lodge lay empty by the 1960s and was renovated by Renfrew County Council as housing for the elderly. The restoration work won a Civic Trust Award in 1971. One of the houses in Cheapside Street http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1484249 is a miniature of the lodge http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1643989 and was once occupied by the Eaglesham Estate factor. The Earls had another hunting lodge a few miles away at Cleughearn in East Kilbride Parish.

Eaglesham Fair 2009
The Fair Queen and Usher lead the procession to the common green for the crowning of the Queen and opening of the 2009 Eaglesham Fair. The carriage is drawn by a magnificent pair of Clydesdale horses driven by Jimmy Steel of Jackton. Alexander, the eighth Earl of Eglinton, obtained for the inhabitants a charter for a weekly market and an annual fair in 1672. The fair was held on the last Thursday in August when horse-races took place. Nowadays the fair is held bi-annually in June.
