Calderglen Country Park is a country park in the Scottish town of East Kilbride. It is situated at the south-eastern edge of East Kilbride and is the town's main park. It is centred around the 17th century Torrance House which is a Category A listed building. The central area of the park is approached via the old entrance gatehouse and tree-lined driveway of the old estate.


Calderglen is situated near to the industrial suburb of Kelvin, the established residential district of St. Leonards and a small 21st century development, Crutherland.
