Bridge Of Weir
Bridge of Weir is a village within the Renfrewshire council location and also larger historic area of Renfrewshire in the west central Lowlands of Scotland. Existing within the Gryffe Valley as well as providing a crossing factor for the River Gryffe, the town today offers mostly as a dorm settlement for nearby Glasgow and Paisley although it maintains an industrial centre of its very own as well as some light industry. The initial semblances of the town happened with the increase of the West of Scotland cotton market. From around 1793 the river Gryffe was being used to power many cotton rotating and covering making mills. The most significant sector to arise in the town was leather. At its efficiency height the little town supported three tanneries. The natural leather sector makes it through to this particular day, now on a single site, in the form of an extremely successful, contemporary facility with five Queen's Awards for International Business.
