Flower Delivery to Renfrewshire: A Council Area on the South Bank of the River Clyde

The city of Glasgow is praised for its architecture and many offerings, including shopping and art. But stepping out of the comforts of the city allows you to explore more of what Scotland has to offer, including the many towns and villages of the Renfrewshire council area.

Overview

The Renfrewshire we know today borders the south-west portion of Glasgow and even contains many of the city’s commuter towns and villages. Other areas that form boundaries with Renfrewshire include North Ayrshire, East Renfrewshire, and West Dunbartonshire.

Renfrewshire is one of the smallest unitary authorities in Scotland, but it is one of the areas with a large population, ranking as the fifth largest unitary authority and the ninth largest when city authorities are included.

Renfrewshire is also the name used to refer to the historic county, but that is called Greater Renfrewshire to avoid confusion.

Transport

The second busiest airport in Scotland, Glasgow International Airport, is located within the boundaries of Renfrewshire. The area is also served by the M8 motorway, which terminates in the area. In addition, Renfrewshire forms a major artery – via the Erskine Bridge – between the north-west and south-west portions of Scotland.

The area is also the recipient of heavy traffic because of its close proximity to the city of Glasgow and the presence of the airport.

There are good bus links in the area thanks to a combination of major bus operators and small operators providing service in the area.

Places of Interest

Those who enjoy woodland walks or outdoor pursuits on days out can head to the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park, about one mile from the Lochwinnoch Railway Station. Attractions in the park include wildlife watching as well as several other indoor and outdoor attractions.

Castle Semple Loch, an inland freshwater loch about 1.5-mile long, located on the regional park serves as a watersports centre. In addition, an RSPB bird sanctuary can be found on the southern shore of the loch.

A visit to the woods allows visitors to see different kinds of Renfrewshire flowers. Bluebells are abundant in the spring while other flowers in Renfrewshire including rhododendron following in bloom. The autumn brings on a new shade as trees start changing colour and leaves start falling.

Four miles away but still part of the park is the Muirshiel Visitor Centre which provides access to lots of great walks, including the heather hills of Misty Law and Hill. Walking to the Barytes mine, now disused, provides great moorland views. Stunning views of the Clyde can be seen at Windy Hill.

More wonderful walks, wildlife sightings, scenic views, and picnic sites can be found at the Greenock Cut Visitor Centre.
