Headington, Bridge of Weir
M209 Headington, Bridge of Weir Introduction This large, L-shaped, roughcast detached house with curved gabled dormers derived from 17th-century Scottish vernacular architecture, is located in the affluent Renfrewshire commuter village of Bridge of Weir. It was built for Alfred Allison Todd, partner in Dunn & Todd, a Glasgow firm of chartered accountants. Authorship: Drawings showing a slightly different treatment of the house were in Mackintosh's possession at the time of his death, and suggest that he contributed to an early stage of the design process. The plan, materials and historical references have parallels with Windyhill and The Hill House, but the house was built according to drawings signed by John Keppie, and it seems likely that Keppie had overall control of the design. Alternative names: Easter Hill; Easterhill. Cost from job book: £2899 4s 8d Status: Standing building Current name: Easterhill Current use: Residential (2014) Listing category: B: Listed as 'Easterhill' Historic Scotland/HB Number: 12775 RCAHMS Site Number: NS36SE 74 Grid reference: NS 39620 64997 Chronology 1902 April: Earliest date on drawings submitted to County of Renfrew Second or Lower District Master of Works department. 1 8 May: Contractor tenders accepted. 2 14 May: Application to build submitted to County of Renfrew Second or Lower District. 3 13 June: Plans approved by County of Renfrew Second or Lower District. 4 1905 20 April: Final payments to main contractors. 5 Description Origin and names Alfred Todd commissioned John Honeyman & Keppie to design a cottage at Bridge of Weir in 1898. However, that project appears to have been abandoned following the tendering process.

Robert Steele and Company: Shipbuilders of Greenock
ROBERT STEELE AND COMPANY: SHIPBUILDERS OF GREENOCK Mark Howard There is a long tradition of shipbuilding on the west coast of Scotland. It began with the production of small fishing boats and coasters to satisfy the demand for vessels from people living in the region. The scale of production, however, was modest and might have remained so but for a number of changes taking place in the wider world. Foremost among these was the expansion of Britain's colonial empire, especially the plantations founded in the West Indies and North America.1 The efforts to establish and protect these colonies together with the trade they generated created a demand for new shipping that Scottish yards helped to satisfy. Other relevant factors were the frequent wars between 1750 and 1816 that helped keep ocean freight rates at high levels; the early stirrings of the industrial revolution; the influence of the Navigation Acts; and Britain's continuing naval dominance. The size of the United Kingdom's registered merchant fleet doubled between 1775 and 1790 following the American War of Independence, and by the conclusion of the Napoleonic wars had doubled again to 2,417,000 tons.2 Of particular importance to Scotland was the 1707 Act of Union that enabled her to share fully in Britain's economic growth, and the completion of the Clyde-Forth canal in 1790 that linked western and eastern Scotland and gave Glasgow better access to the Baltic trade. Toward the end of the eighteenth century, Scotland entered a period of rapid economic gTowth that was soon matched by a rise in trade.

Birdwatching in Ayrshire and Arran
Birdwatching in Ayrshire and Arran Note on the on-line edition: The original leaflet (shown on the right) was published in 2003 by the Ayrshire Branch of the SOC and was so popular that the 20,000 print run is now gone. We have therefore published this updated edition on-line to ensure people interested in Ayrshire’s birds (locals and visitors) can find out the best locations to watch our birds. To keep the size of the document to a minimum we have removed the numerous photographs that were in the original. The on- line edition was first published in November 2005. Introduction This booklet is a guide to the best birding locations in Ayrshire and Arran. It has been produced by the Ayrshire branch of the SOC with help from individuals, local organisations and authorities. It should be used in conjunction with our website (www.ayrshire-birding.org.uk) which gives extra details. Additions and corrections can be reported via the website. The defining influences on Ayrshire as an environment for birds and other wildlife are its very long coast-line (135km not counting islands), and the fact that it lies almost entirely in the rift valley between the Highland Boundary Fault and the Southern Upland Fault. Exceptions to this generally lowland character are the mountains of north Arran, our own little bit of the Highlands, and the moorlands and hills of the south and south-east fringes of the county. The mild climate has resulted in a mainly pastoral agriculture and plenty of rivers and lochs, making it good for farmland and water birds.

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.

GREENOCK : PRINTED BY JOHN MALCOM, 3ROAD CLOSE. 1841. ADDRESS. The design of the present work being to give a succinct and accurate Di= rectory of the bankers, merchants, manufacturers, ship-owners, agents, and principal inhabitants of Greenock, no pains have been spared to render it as correct and complete as possible. A short Historical Sketch has been prefixed, giving a concise view of the rise and progress of the town, with its harbours, commerce and manu- factures, together with the principal causes that have promoted its present maritime importance and manufacturing enterprise. In order to render the work as generally useful as possible, a Register has also been prefixed, forming a complete arrangement of corporate bodies, public institutions, religious associations, liteiary, scientific and other societies, to- gether with copious shipping and other lists connected with the town. In procuring the various details, the Publisher has availed himself of every means of information in his power. To the magistrates, the clergy, merchants, ship-owners^ and office-bearers of public institutions, he offers his respectful thanks for their obliging and valuable assistance. To Weir's History of Greenock, and to the columns of the Greenock Advertiser, he is also indebted, and acknowledges the free use he has made of the informa- tion contained in these publications. In a word, the Register and Directory may be briefly described as a com- pendious digest of the statistical, the moral, the political, and the commercial interests of the town of Greenock CONTENTS.
