West Kirk, West Mains Road, East Kilbride

West Kirk, located on West Mains Road in East Kilbride, was designed by John Cairns in 1791, with 19th century additions and a church hall built in 1930. The original building is a two-storey, five-bay symmetrical structure with a piended roof.

The southeast elevation features one-and-a-half storey round-headed windows in the second and fourth bays at ground level, with single windows in the third and fifth bays. There is a single-storey entrance wing attached at the first bay, which has single windows in the first, third, and fifth bays on the first floor.

The entrance wing is set at an oblique angle to the main building. It has a door with a bracketed hoodmould and frame to the right of the south elevation, and another door in the left bay of the left return. The central and right bays contain single windows, while the right return is blind.

On the southwest elevation, there is a door to the right at ground level and large single windows in the centre of the first floor. The 1930s church hall is attached at the rear, featuring irregular fenestration to the right and a gablehead to the left, also with irregular fenestration.

The northwest elevation includes three single stained-glass windows at the first floor. The church hall extension has six recessed bays, all with square single windows, except for the first bay, which is blind.

The northeast elevation has an external stair from the left of the ground floor leading to the centre of the first floor, with a single window in the right bay at the first floor. There is an L-plan church hall extension to the rear.

Inside, the seating has been re-oriented from southeast to northwest and then to northeast and southwest. The interior features a U-plan gallery supported by blue-painted steel pillars, with a timber balcony and seating. The balcony is decorated with stencilling in black and gold, and there is a clock in the centre of the balcony that was gifted by the Old Parish Church. The ceiling is compartmentalised with slender ribs painted blue and gold, and a new central chandelier is present.
