Bridge Of Weir
Bridge of Weir is a village within the Renfrewshire council location and bigger historic county of Renfrewshire in the west main Lowlands of Scotland. Existing within the Gryffe Valley and providing a crossing point for the River Gryffe, the town today offers mainly as a dormitory settlement for close-by Glasgow and Paisley although it maintains a commercial centre of its very own and some light market. The first forms of the village happened with the increase of the West of Scotland cotton sector. From around 1793 the river Gryffe was being made use of to power countless cotton rotating as well as covering making mills. One of the most considerable market to emerge in the village was natural leather. At its productivity optimal the small town supported three tanneries. The leather industry endures to today, now on a single site, in the form of a very successful, modern-day facility with five Queen's Awards for International Business.
