PREFACE. ACTING upon the suggestion of the retiring Master and other prominent members of the Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Hunt, I have ventured to produce an historical record which it is hoped will meet with the appreciation of those interested. For the description of the sport of the past twenty seasons I am greatly indebted to the diaries so perfectly kept by the late Mr. J. J. Barclay, which were kindly placed at my disposal by Mr. G. Barclay. Without such a valuable asset no work of this kind could ever have been attempted, and I have made the fullest possible use of these records, so that sportsmen and sportswomen of the last quarter of a century can refresh their memory in regard to the many great runs enjoyed during that period. I hope I have succeeded in an effort to furnish a complete and unvarnished account of the doings of the pack, together with a history of the Hunt since its origin. Possibly, at some future time, another enthusiast will take up the pen and bring the records up to date. Harry Judd (" Tantivy "). CONTENTS.

    Roland the Lochwinnoch Gull Movements for 2017 Below After

    Roland the Lochwinnoch Gull Roland is an adult male Lesser Black-backed Gull. He was hand caught at Castle Semple Loch on the 28th of June. As he was hand caught we don’t have any evidence of nesting behaviour but it is believed, by the movement data below, that he may have a nest on Little Cumbrae. At the time of tagging he weighed 890g and has a wing length of 42.2cm. Roland can be identified in the field by his colour ring 11S:C. Movements for 2017 below After Roland was released he headed to Little Cumbrae and then went foraging in the sea just off the coast of Ardrossan. It is early days data wise at the moment to see where he has favourite foraging places but he has made regular visits back to Castle Semple and has been spotted there by the TnT Team. Map updated on 21/09/17 Roland regularly returns to Castle Semple to forage. He may be a regular occurance at the loch but he does like to move about during the day and hangs out at Hogganfield Loch in Glasgow which is a regular ringing site for members of the Clyde Ringing Group but has yet to be spotted by anyone there. Why don’t you go and see if you can spot him and let us know. Map updated 29/09/17 Roland is spending alot of time at Braehead and is also fishing on the Clyde near Langbank. Fingers crossed it won’t be too long until he moves south.

    RLHF Journal Vol.2 (1990) 2. Renfrewshire's historic monuments - a heritage under threat: A summary of local archaeological problems with a bibliography and brief site list. Gordon McCrae It is said that the past is another country. If this is true, the more distant past often seems like an alien planet. The recent welcome flood of books and pamphlets about the history of our area has done little to change this perception. The study and reinterpretation of medieval, Roman and prehistoric Renfrewshire remains sadly neglected. This may be due, in part, to the problems which confront a local historian trying to make sense of the archaeological record. These problems include (a) - lack of a current bibliography of sources, or an accessible site list, for use as an introduction to local monuments; (b) the fact that much important information is only available in out-of-print books and obscure periodicals; (c) the difficulty of dealing with the large gaps in the archaeological record; which is compounded by (d) ,recent wholesale reinterpretation of classes of monuments due to advances in archaeological techniques. Finally (e) the scientific and technical nature of these techniques which make them the exclusive preserve of 'experts'. Another persistent problem, since the demise of the Renfrewshire Archaeological Society, has been the lack of a local forum for people interested in discussion, fieldwork and preservation. Various bodies have sponsored investigations over the years - Paisley Museum, Glasgow Archaeological Society, Renfrewshire Natural History Society, The Ancient Monuments Inspectorate, The Ordnance Survey, and, more recently, the Regional Archaeologist and the Scottish Urban Archaeological Trust.
