Lochwinnoch
Lochwinnoch is a village in the council location and also historical county of Renfrewshire in the west main Lowlands of Scotland. Pushing the financial institutions of Castle Semple Loch as well as the River Calder, Lochwinnoch is chiefly a residential dorm room village offering nearby urban centres such as Glasgow as well as Paisley. Its population in 2001 was 2628. The Community also lends its name to a civil church of some 50 sq mi (130 km2) of the bordering countryside, including the neighboring village of Howwood. The parish borders 7 others: Beith, Kilbarchan, Kilbirnie, Kilmacolm, Largs, Neilston and also Paisley. Today, Lochwinnoch chiefly serves as a residential village, as well as a satellite to the major city of Glasgow. In 1972, a variety of structures in the town were brought within a recently defined Lochwinnoch Conservation Area as a location of unique architectural value for preparation and also environment purposes administered by the neighborhood authority. Lochwinnoch Primary School, the only college in the town, commemorated its centenary in 2005. In 2003 it was the centre of a significant alien big cat sighting scare. Kids were kept inside during break times, and an authorities helicopter was generated to look for the pet.
