  • 1 Rugged Upland Farmland
    SNH National Landscape Character Assessment Landscape Character Type 202 RUGGED UPLAND FARMLAND Location and Context The Rugged Upland Farmland Landscape Character Type, which shares many of the attributes of Plateau Farmland – Glasgow & Clyde Valley, is found in Kilmacolm, Johnstone and Neilston. It occurs in lnverclyde, Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire local authority areas, north and west of Newton Mearns, where the smooth plateau farmlands and higher plateau moorlands give way to a more rugged farmland landscape, forming a transition to the rugged moorland area further north west. Key Characteristics Rugged landform comprising rocky bluffs and shallow troughs. Reservoirs in flooded troughs. Dominance of pastoral farming. Frequent tree cover often emphasising landform, for example concentrated on bluffs and outcrops. Settlement limited to farms and villages. Landscape Character Description Landform The Rugged Upland Farmland landscapes are, for the large part underlain by millstone grits and carboniferous limestone with peripheral, higher areas of basalt. They are characterised, to a greater or lesser degree, by a rugged, hummocky landscape of steep, craggy bluffs interspersed with gentler farmland. Many of the troughs and valleys are flooded, providing reservoirs for urban areas to the north. The area south of Gleniffer Braes is more gentle and plateau-like. Landcover Woodland cover is relatively extensive, providing an important structural element, with many of the rugged hillocks covered in stands of beech or pine. The more hospitable areas are mostly improved pasture (mainly given over to sheep farming). Beech hedgerow trees are a 1 SNH National Landscape Character Assessment LCT 202 RUGGED UPLAND FARMLAND distinctive feature in many parts of this landscape, often associated with past estates.

  • Bridge of Weir — the Railway Brian Turner
    RLHF Journal Vol.11 (2001/2) 1. Bridge of Weir — The Railway Brian Turner Introduction: It is quite apparent that the coming of the railway not only significantly enhanced the importance of Bridge of Weir, but also had a profound effect on the topography of the core of the village, as we shall see when we examine the construction work involved in creating it. Furthermore, in the present day and age, when railways over the whole of mainland Europe and the UK are undergoing a renaissance, being increasingly seen as the answer to excessive use of car transport and juggernaut long-distance haulage, it is noteworthy that the initiative for the first railway from Bridge of Weir came from within the community. This happened, of course, in the so-called ‘age of railway mania’, when railways were springing up all over the place connecting adjacent communities and ones farther apart. Historical: The earliest proposed scheme for a railway dates from 1845. The ambitious scheme was aimed at linking Johnstone, Houston, Bridge of Weir, and Port Glasgow; but it foundered through problems with finance and was abandoned. Not until 1861 did a group of local businessmen, landed gentry, and men of letters get together and successfully promulgate the idea of a railway to connect Bridge of Weir with the ‘outside world’. At that time the gateway to the outside world was seen as Johnstone, from where trains could be taken to Glasgow (eastwards) and Carlyle. Even London could be reached (westwards via Dalry and Kilmarnock). So it was that the ‘Bridge of Weir Railway Act’ of 1862 was passed, with an arrangement for the G&SWR to work the line.

  • Duchal Castle: an Initial Survey Derek Alexander
    RLHF Journal Vol.5 (1993) 4. Duchal Castle: an Initial Survey Derek Alexander Aim of study The intention of this study was to record the physical remains of Duchal Castle and provide a brief summary of its history. Very little of the castle survives to any great height, and so it has drawn little detailed examination in the past. However, the deteriorating condition of some of the wall faces meant that they should be planned and recorded before what little architectural detail they did contain was lost forever. Location (Illustration 1) Duchal Castle is located 5km south-west of Kilmacolm on the western side of Strathgryffe. It lies beside the minor road that runs southwards, through Green Farm, off the B788 Kilmacolrn - Greenock road. The castle itself sits on a promontory 110m north of the confluence of the Green Water and the Blacketty Water which flow down the north-east and south-west sides of the castle respectively. The promontory is formed by an igneous rock outcrop, flanked by gullies c. 8m deep, through which the rivers flow. Interestingly the castle does not sit in a prominent position in the landscape but is in the bottom of a natural depression, surrounded by higher ground on all but the south-east side. It appears that the position was chosen for its inaccessible, defensive qualities. Although thick tree cover now obscures the ruins, the site would have appeared more conspicuous in the landscape in the past than it does today, especially if the tower was three storeys high. History A charter of Paisley in 1243 mentions a “Radulphus de Insula” founder of the family of Lyle in whose possession the castle remained until 1544.
