Bridge Of Weir
Bridge of Weir is a town within the Renfrewshire council location as well as wider historical county of Renfrewshire in the west main Lowlands of Scotland. Lying within the Gryffe Valley and providing a crossing point for the River Gryffe, the village today serves greatly as a dormitory negotiation for nearby Glasgow and Paisley although it maintains a commercial centre of its own and some light industry. The very first semblances of the town came to be with the increase of the West of Scotland cotton market. From around 1793 the river Gryffe was being used to power various cotton spinning and blanket making mills. One of the most considerable market to arise in the town was leather. At its productivity optimal the small town sustained three tanneries. The leather industry endures to this particular day, now on a solitary site, in the form of a highly successful, contemporary facility with 5 Queen's Awards for International Business.
