Cycling in Renfrewshire Cycling in Renfrewshire The cycling in Renfrewshire is some of the best in Scotland: there are networks of well-surfaced traffic-free cycletracks, idyllic quiet country lanes, exciting mountain biking and stunning scenery. The aim of this booklet is to help you get out and explore what’s on your doorstep. The routes in this guide are specifically designed for non-expert cyclists. Many are suitable for families with children. The routes are mainly surfaced: only the Muirshiel route requires a mountain bike. We avoid busy roads wherever possible. There’s also a variety of distances – but all of the routes should be within the ability of the average fit person. Remember, this is only a selection of the cycling that Renfrewshire has to offer. When you’ve tried a couple of rides, we hope you’ll be inspired to use your imagination to make up your own routes. Enjoy your cycling!

  • The Dewars of St. Fillan
    History of the Clan Macnab part five: The Dewars of St. Fillan The following articles on the Dewar Sept of the Clan Macnab were taken from several sources. No attempt has been made to consolidate the articles; instead they are presented as in the original source, which is given at the beginning of each section. Hence there will be some duplication of material. David Rorer Dewar means roughly “custodian” and is derived from the Gallic “Deoradh,” a word originally meaning “stranger” or “wanderer,” probably because the person so named carried St. Fillan’s relics far a field for special purposes. Later, the meaning of the word altered to “custodian.” The relics they guarded were the Quigrich (Pastoral staff); the Bernane (chapel Bell), the Fergy (possibly St. Fillan’s portable alter), the Mayne (St. Fillan’s arm bone), the Maser (St. Fillan’s manuscript). There were, of course other Dewars than the Dewars of St. Fillan and the name today is most familiar as that of a blended scotch whisky produced by John Dewar and Sons Ltd St. Fillan is mentioned in the Encyclopedia Britannica, 14th edition of 1926, as follows: Fillan, Saint or Faelan, the name of two Scottish saints, of Irish origin, whose lives are of a legendary character. The St. Fillan whose feast is kept on June 20 had churches dedicated to him at Ballyheyland, Queen’s county, Ireland, and at Loch Earn, Perthshire (see map of Glen Dochart). The other, who is commerated on January 9, was specially venerated at Cluain Mavscua in County Westmeath, Ireland. Also beginning about the 8th or 9th century at Strathfillan, Perthshire, Scotland, where there was an ancient monastery dedicated to him.

Summary 1.1 At the Council meeting of 28 February 2019, it was agreed to deliver a £40milion, five-year investment in Renfrewshire roads, cycling routes and pedestrian paths, representing the biggest ever investment of its kind. This will make journeys safer and easier, improve business connectivity, support development and town centre improvements and make it easier for visitors to enjoy Renfrewshire attractions. 1.2 The approach during 2019/20 will continue the progressive improvement of roads assets and fits with the asset management approach of seeking to reduce reactive revenue expenditure through prudent life cycle investment. 1.3 The focus for 2019/20 includes schemes within the strategic road network as well as roads of local significance with a presence in every town and village across Renfrewshire. A sustained effort will continue to ensure the highest quality of product will be used and contractors’ standards will be robustly monitored throughout the year. 1.4 There are a number of strategic roads where works are planned and as such, detailed communication plans will be developed for each of these to ensure stakeholder engagement is maintained going forward.

    This document relates to the Historic Environment Scotland Bill (SP Bill 47) as introduced in the Scottish Parliament on 3 March 2014 HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND BILL —————————— POLICY MEMORANDUM INTRODUCTION 1. This document relates to the Historic Environment Scotland Bill introduced in the Scottish Parliament on 3 March 2014. It has been prepared by the Scottish Government to satisfy Rule 9.3.3 of the Parliament‘s Standing Orders. The contents are entirely the responsibility of the Scottish Government and have not been endorsed by the Parliament. Explanatory Notes and other accompanying documents are published separately as SP Bill 47–EN. 2.

The Bill is proposed at the same time as the publication of Scotland‘s first Historic Environment Strategy. The policy aim of the Bill is for a more outcome-focused, resilient, efficient and effective service in support of the historic environment and the people of Scotland, and for Historic Environment Scotland to be enabled to deliver on a range of National Outcomes. 4. This policy memorandum provides an overview of the two predecessor bodies, Historic Scotland and RCAHMS, outlines how Scotland‘s first Historic Environment Strategy sets the creation of a new lead body for the sector and summarises the policy intent and consultation which has informed the provisions of the Bill.

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.

  • Talking About Heritage
    Talking about heritage Draft guidance for consultation September 2020 1 Introduction Heritage is everywhere and it means different things to different people. This guide is all about exploring and talking about heritage, so we’ve included some of the things that people have said to us when we’ve asked them, ‘What’s your heritage?’ Heritage to me is everything in Scotland’s history. It’s not just buildings but everything that’s passed down like songs, stories, myths. Perthshire ‘What’s Your Heritage’ workshop. Your heritage might be the physical places that you know and love – your favourite music venue, your local park, a ruined castle you’ve explored, or the landscapes you picture when you think of home. Your heritage could also be your working life, the stories you were told as a child, the language you speak with your family, the music or traditions you remember from an important time in your life. Heritage can inspire different emotions, both positive and negative. It can be special to people for lots of different reasons. Here are a few: • It’s beautiful. • It’s what I think of when I picture home. • It’s part of who I am • I can feel the spirits, my history. • It’s where I walk my dog. • It’s an amazing insight into my past. • It’s my home town and it reminds me of my family. Heritage can help to us to feel connected. It might be to a community, a place, or a shared past. It reflects different viewpoints across cultures and generations and is key to local distinctiveness and identity.
