  • Administration and Divisions
    COMMUNICATIONS 1 45 The palmy days of canal traffic both for passengers and goods have passed away. As railways were extended the importance of canals declined. The complete explana- tion of this is by no means easy. It has been attributed to their passing into the control of railway companies, but this explanation is not satisfactory. The smallness of the vessels in use and the consequent additional handling of goods undoubtedly militate against the greater use of canals in these days, when the whole tendency is to handle and carry goods in as large amounts as possible. With the adoption of improved methods of traction or propulsion, there seems no good reason why the importance of canal traffic should not to some extent be restored. 21. Administration and Divisions. Renfrew was originally included with Lanark as an administrative unit, the .separation having been made by King Robert III at the beginning of the fifteenth century. At first the position of sheriff was a hereditary one, and was held by one of the powerful families of the county. The first sheriff that we know of was John Semple of Eliotstoun, who held office in 1426 soon after Renfrew and Lanark were separated. The office remained in the Semple family till it was transferred to the Earl of Eglinton in 1648. Until the Reformation the lands belonging to the Abbey of Paisley were not under the jurisdiction of the sheriff. The abbot was supreme, and had his gallows for hanging men, and his pit for drowning women M. R. 10 146 malefactors.

  • A WALK AROUND INCHINNAN - 2.5 Miles
    A WALK AROUND INCHINNAN - 2.5 miles The walk starts at the Normandy Hotel which is situated beside the White Cart. Normandy Hotel The hotel was completed in 1973 for the Reo Stakis Organisation. Legend has it that the architect’s drawing was numbered 1066 - hence the Normandy! Two stones, one the pediment and the other the base of a cross, are situated in front of the Normandy Hotel, enclosed behind iron railings. Argyll Stone & St Conval’s Chariot The pediment is known as the Argyll Stone. It is said that the Duke of Argyll rested on it in 1685 and was captured and taken to Edinburgh where he was beheaded. The base is known as St. Conval’s Chariot. St Conval is reputed to have floated from Ireland to Scotland on it. He founded his church across the River Cart at Inchinnan. The Silver Bell Horse Race of Paisley, instituted in 1620, "startit at the grey stane callit St. Convall's stane." The first winner, on 1st June 1620, was Hew Crawford of Cloberhill. Leaving the Normandy, walk to the river and the bascule bridge. Bascule Bridge The new stone bridge over the White Cart, which was opened in 1812, was too low to accommodate sailing ships as they became larger. This meant that ships sailing up the White Cart to Paisley had to lower their masts to pass through, so a canal was constructed in 1838 to divert ships through a swing bridge. In 1923 this was replaced with the present bascule bridge , built by Sir William Arrol & Company.

  • Agricultural Workers Renfrewshire
    RLHF Journal Vol.1 (1989) 1. Down To Earth Agricultural Workers in Renfrewshire Christopher C. Lee There are three important considerations in mind when discussing the question of farm workers in Renfrewshire and all three are interrelated. Agrarian studies in the west of Scotland form a relatively neglected area of historiography. The east coast has always attracted more attention and its experiences are often used to make generalisations about Scottish agriculture. It is the case, however, that farming in the west is very different. The differences concern the size of farms, patterns of employment and farm architecture. The second consideration which stems largely from the first is that the number of farm workers in the west and in counties like Renfrewshire was much smaller than in other parts of the country. This was dictated by the fact that, in general, west coast farms were smaller than those in the east and were pastoral rather than arable. Pastoral farming is less labour intensive. An important factor was also present in the competition for labour provided by the development of industry in large urban areas like Glasgow and Paisley and indeed in the villages like Lochwinnoch, Kilbarchan and Johnstone. The third and final consideration is that it has to be remembered when we are studying agricultural workers that we are always working at one remove from our subjects. This was after all a transient and often migratory workforce; they left few records. It has to be said, however, that this was a characteristic of the farming community in general. A gentleman farmer may have had the time to keep letters, diaries and accounts but few working farmers did.
