RENFREW

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 98 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
RENFREW , a royal, municipal and police
burgh
  and county town of Renfrewshire,
Scotland
 , near the southern bank of the
Clyde
 , 7 M. W. by N. of Glasgow, via Cardonald, by the Glasgow & South-Western and Caledonian railways (5 M. by road). Pop. (1891) 6777; (19o1) 9296.
Industries
  include ship-building (the construction of dredgers and floating docks is a speciality), engineering, dyeing, weaving, chemicals and cabinet-making. The
Clyde
  trust has constructed a large dock here. Renfrew belongs to the Kilmarnock
district
  group of parliamentary burghs (with Kilmarnock, Dumbarton, Rutherglen and Port Glasgow). Robert III. gave a charter in 1396, but it was a
burgh
  (Renifry) at least 250 years earlier. About 116o Walter Fitzalan, the first high steward of
Scotland
 , built a castle on an eminence by the side of the Clyde (still called Castle Hill), the
original
  seat of the royal
house
  of Stewart. Close to the town, on the site of Elderslie
House
 , Somerled, lord of the Isles, was defeated and slain in 1164 by the forces of
Malcolm
  IV., against whom he had rebelled. In 1404 Robert II. bestowed upon his son James (afterwards James I.) the title of Baron of Renfrew, still borne by the prince of Wales.
