East Kilbride kirk session

A church court that sat within the presbytery of Hamilton and the synod of Glasgow and Ayr. The parish church of East Kilbride, which held a dedication to St Bride and which was rebuilt in 1744, formerly existed as a prebend belonging to the Precentor of Glasgow Cathedral. The parish of Torrens was annexed into East Kilbride in 1589. Part of the parish was removed to form the quoad sacra parish of Chalepton in 1876.
