Lochwinnoch
Lochwinnoch is a town in the council area as well as historical region of Renfrewshire in the west main Lowlands of Scotland. Resting on the financial institutions of Castle Semple Loch and also the River Calder, Lochwinnoch is chiefly a domestic dorm room village serving neighboring metropolitan centres such as Glasgow and Paisley. Its population in 2001 was 2628. The Town also lends its name to a civil church of some 50 sq mi (130 km2) of the surrounding countryside, consisting of the nearby village of Howwood. The parish boundaries seven others: Beith, Kilbarchan, Kilbirnie, Kilmacolm, Largs, Neilston and Paisley. Today, Lochwinnoch chiefly acts as a household town, as well as a satellite to the significant city of Glasgow. In 1972, a variety of buildings in the town were brought within a newly specified Lochwinnoch Conservation Area as an area of special building importance for preparation and atmosphere purposes provided by the neighborhood authority. Lochwinnoch Primary School, the only school in the town, commemorated its centenary in 2005. In 2003 it was the centre of a remarkable unusual big cat discovery scare. Youngsters were maintained inside throughout break times, and also a cops helicopter was generated to look for the animal.
