Bridge Of Weir
Bridge of Weir is a town within the Renfrewshire council area and bigger historic county of Renfrewshire in the west central Lowlands of Scotland. Lying within the Gryffe Valley and giving a crossing factor for the River Gryffe, the village today offers greatly as a dorm room settlement for nearby Glasgow and also Paisley although it preserves an industrial centre of its own and some light sector. The very first semblances of the town happened with the surge of the West of Scotland cotton market. From around 1793 the river Gryffe was being made use of to power numerous cotton rotating and covering making mills. One of the most considerable industry to emerge in the town was leather. At its productivity peak the small town sustained 3 tanneries. The leather sector survives to today, currently on a single site, in the form of a very effective, modern center with 5 Queen's Awards for International Business.
