    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.

  • St Mirren Burn
    2. Nether Paisley Part 1: The Burn Gets Busy Sylvia Clark In 2003 Sylvia started work on a booklet - the provisional titles were `The Valley of Paisley' and `Nether Paisley' – on the industrial development of the right bank of the St Mirin Burn, in Paisley. The themes she found on this narrow plot were her favourites: the interweaving of manufacturing and commerce, cultural aspirations, and the irony of human affairs. All that remains of the booklet are the passages which I word processed for her, and her notes on later chapters. For all its shortcomings (incompleteness and the absence of references) `Nether Paisley' is a charming and entertaining work. Although incomplete, it is hoped readers will hear Sylvia’s voice through her work. If I had been brave enough to suggest to Sylvia the inclusion of earlier history of the burn, I would have pointed out that for 400 years its chief business was to water the Prior's Croft, while the lands at the burn mouth started out as a hazel copse, then cleared for pasture, then converted into the Nether Bailey of Paisley. Its earliest development – late medieval – was a series of burgage plots, mostly for officers of the Stewart, on what is now the east front of The Paisley Centre. Sylvia's account begins in the 17th century when the backlands around the burn were employed as `yairds' – let out for a variety of commercial, agrarian, and industrial functions. Alan Steel The Valley of Paisley: the name does not appear on the map, but it is an accurate description of the valley which runs between Oakshaw on the north and the rising ground, Common Hill, on the south, through which St Mirren's (or rather St Mirin's) Burn used to flow from its rise in the Broomlands to the White Cart Water.
