Johnstone
Johnstone is a town in the council area and county of Renfrewshire in the west central Lowlands of Scotland. It lies 3 miles west of Paisley, 12 miles west of the centre of the city of Glasgow and 12 miles north east of Kilwinning. Forming a section of the largest conurbation in Scotland, Johnstone sits on the western border of the Greater Glasgow Urban Area. Johnstone was a planned community, which developed around the house of Easter Cochrane, now referred to as Johnstone Castle. Building and construction started in 1782 when the Laird George Houston approved designs for a number of residential seats forming the town centre. The building of two identical civic squares, Houstoun Square and Ludovic Square, and the town acquired its parish church by 1794. Coal mining started to bring wealth to Johnstone in the 19th century, with the population increasing to 5600 in 1831. Such a development in population meant the boost in slum conditions until the development of an area of the town to contain a substantial amount of purpose-built domestic estates, happening in the 1930s. Much of Johnstone's history until industrialisation has actually vanished, with Johnstone Castle coming to be derelict after the last Laird died in 1931. The town's population of 15687 is well-connected to the rest of Scotland due to its distance to efficient transportation links. A dual carriageway connects Johnstone to the M8 motorway for transport links to central Scotland, and the town provides two train stations with frequent trains to Glasgow Central, Paisley and the Ayrshie Coast. Those wishing to go additional afar are 3.5 miles away from Glasgow International Airport and 40 minutes away by train from Prestwick International Airport.
