"The name of the parish as well as the County appears to have belonged originally to the Site and neighbourhood of the present burgh. A town bearing the name existed here in the reign of David I, which commenced in 1124. We are from this and other evidence, carried back to a parish when some of the dialect of the Celtic must have been spoken in this part of the country; in this immediate neighbourhood, - most probably that of the Strath Clyde Britons, Clyde, Leven, Lomond,Dumbarton, and as we think Renfrew,are all british names. The author of the Caledonia derives the last of these names from Rhyn in Welsh, or Rinn, in Gaelic & Irish; - both meaning a point of land, and Frew or Fraw in Welsh, a flow of water; thus making Renfrew the point of land near the flow or conflux of the rivers Clyde and Gryfe. All who are acquainted with the localities of the burgh will recognise in this an apt description: yet it must have been much more so, when the rivers spread out as they formerly did, leaving the lands around the burgh literally as a point appearing amidst the waters. Assuming then, that this name was applied to the site of the burgh, it is easy to understand how it would afterwards be given to the burgh itself, and from it to the parish; and we know, that it was afterwards extended first to the barony, and then to the Sheriffdom or county. Hence the name of the burgh, the parish, and the county of Renfrew.
This parish comprehends the whole of the burgh, and a landward district of. |

"This burgh was first regal, as possessed by the ancient Kings of Scotland. On its passing
into the hands of the Stewarts, it became a burgh of barony. But Robert III, to whom it
belonged as part of his patrimonial inheritance, granted a Charter to the 'burgesses and
Community", making over his right, and Constituting it a Royal burgh. This charter
was granted in 1396, and contains a full grant of the burgh itself, of the fishing on the river,
of the customs levied within the burgh and throughout the barony, and of whatever other
privileges might be enjoyed by any other burgh in Scotland." "The limits of the royalty
are extensive, probably comprehending the whole of the burgh's ancient domains, and being
confined to these, for Castle Hill, and Orchard lands, etc, Anciently belonging to the baronial
Residence, are legally without the burgh, though forming part of the town; while other lands more
than a mile distant are included. The Parliamentary boundaries are, on the other hand, drawn
closely round the part built upon, without any reference to ancient limits." "The affairs of the
burgh are managed by a provost, two bailies, and sixteen councillors." "Weekly courts are held by the
Magistrates for the administration of justice. The quarter sessions are still held here, as are several
other County meetings, especially that for electing the County member, the Sheriff and most other

"Within the domains of Renfield, now usually called Blythswood,
and not far from Inchinnan Bridge, is the 'Argyle Stone'.
The unfortunate Earl of Argyle, who made his descent on Scotland
in 1685, had his troops Scattered in Dumbartonshire, crossed
the Clyde, and was pursuing his way to Renfrew in disguise,
when after fording the Gryfe a little way beneath the Inchinnan Bridge, he was attacked by some
militiamen, wounded, and taken prisoner; The Argyle Stone was that on which he fell, or probably
leant on being wounded, and which was thus, as tradition says, stained with his blood.
It is a large block of Sandstone, weighing probably a couple of tons, and having perhaps some
red veins in it, which caused many long to believe that it retains the stain of the Earl's blood.
It is now enclosed and secured against damage by the proprietor; while it is judiciously allowed
to mark the spot where the capture took place." New Statistical Account |

"Close by Renfrew are the domains of Eldersly, formerly an
island, and bearing the name of "the King's Inch.' On this
island, and only a short way in front of the present mansion
house, (Elderslie), stood another castle, formerly possessed
by the Stewarts, and afterwards by the house of Hawkhead.
In a charter granted by Walter, 'the first Steward', the following
expression occurs, 'cum illa maisura super rupem, ubi aula mea erat fundata;' and in a confirmatory
charter, granted by his son Alan, "the Second Steward," the same clause is thus repeated," "And as it is
clear from the terms of these charters, that the 'Aula' referred to, was about Renfrew, we are disposed to
believe, that the first residence of 'the Stewards' was on "the Inch." The castle and domains of the Inch
afterwards passed into the hands of the Hawkhead family, and the ruins of the last castle were taken
down preparatory to the erection of Eldersly House. At that time they consisted of three stories, but were
built in a castalated form." New Stat [Statistical Acct [Account] P. [Page] 12 |

(See Castle Hill to an adjoining house)
"The ancient family of Stewarts had their first residence
and special patrimony in this parish. The earliest ancestor
of this family, respecting whom we have properly authenticated
information, was Walter, usually denominated Filius Alani.
To him the burgh and territory of Renfrew, with other
estates and perquisites, were granted by David I, who ascended the throne in 1124, and died in
1153. This Walter was, at the same time, invested with the office of Seneschallus Domus Regis,
Steward of the King's Household, or Dapifer Regis, the King's Steward, which he is some times
called; and hence the origin of the name Stewart." "Several memorials of the ancient residence
of this illustrious family are still observable in Renfrew; On a rising ground between the Cross
and the ferry, is the Site of the ancient castle, the common residence of the'Stewarts."

"Proceeding from the centre of the circle on the Knock farm, (See next page) as already
described, and towards a point about two yards and a half south of the byre door, and at the distance
of 134 yards, we come to the site of another monument. Sixty years ago (1785) an octagonal
column, of about ten feet in height, and inserted in a pedestal of perhaps six feet in diameter
Stood here, it was without any inscription, but went commonly by the name of "Queen Blearie's
Stane". Tradition describes the person meant to be Marjory Bruce, daughter of King
Robert I, mother of King Robert II, and wife of Walter the Steward. It farther accounts
for the monument by alleging that she had been hunting and fell from her horse at this
particular spot, - that she was at the time far advanced in pregnancy- that the
child was separated from her by surgical operation, but at the expense of the mother's life."

place there in very remote times…..It is only
necessary for us to add that in the County of Renfrew
There are not more than Six individuals who can
now (?about 1830) point out the Site of "Queen Blearie's
Stane" and still fewer who can show the spot where
Palmyarm [Palm my Arm] Ross so originally distinguished himself.
We take the merit to ourselves of suggesting to the
intelligent farmer at the Knowe the propriety of putting
up a stake to mark the spot where the cross Stood
and of saving the mound from further obliteration
by the plough*.
(*It was in the year 1782 that in the course of Some
agricultural improvements the first attempt was made
to level the mound and fill up the fosse. Previous
to that time, the ditch was about 6 yards in width and
4 feet in depth. The mound was 20 yards in diameter.)
If these objects can be identified,they may be written
Site of "Standing Stone" (in Old English) and "Kemp Knowe" in German text, to the Site or remains of the mound with Surrounding ditch

Pennant, who travelled in this quarter in
1772, is the only writer who mentioned a different
memorial stone as being that which conjecturally
might be referred to this event: but we shall soon
see that he refers to the Cross so frequently alluded
to in this volume, as indicating the place where
Marjory Bruce was thrown off her horse on Renfrew
Muir. His words are: "Continue my journey
towards Renfrew. On the road see a mount or
tumulus with a foss around the base and a
single stone erected on the top. Near this
place was defeated and slain Sumerled, Thane
of Argyle, who in 1159 (1164) with a great army
of Bandith, collected from Ireland and other
parts, landed in the bay of St. Lawrence, and led
them in rebellion against Malcolm IV. That
this mount was raised in memory of so signal
an event is not improbable, especially as we
are told by a most respectable writer that his
troops retired unmolested: therefore might have
leisure to fling up this usual tribute to the
honour of their leader" P.172. Vol 2 Lond. 1790
Pennant, in riding from Paisley to Renfrew,
has never quitted his saddle, otherwise he would
have observed that the upright stone was totally
unconnected with the tumulus and its circumjacent
foss. The tumulus and foss to which
he obviously refers, lay to the west of the road
about 80 yards: and 160 yards further west
stood the Cross, which unvarying tradition
says, was Commemorative of the "woeful hunting"
of dame Marjory Bruce, mother of Robert II. |

The proximity of the Cross to the mound
and lying as it does in a straight line west
of the mound, may have deceived his eye.
As we are talking of Crosses, we may a
s well bestow a word or two upon "Queen
Blearie's Stane" as it was designated by the
Country folks of that neighbourhood
This stone stood on the Farm of Knoc,
midway betwixt Renfrew and Paisley, and
about 240 yards to the west of the present road.
It was an octagonal column, about 10 feet
in height, without any inscription or sculptures
whatsoever. It was inserted in a solid pedestal,
also eight sided, and about six feet in diameter
Part of the shaft was seen by Semple serving
the undignified purpose of a lintel to the barn
door of the farm steading at Knoc: but that
fragment, like the rest of it, has now disappeared.
The pedestal was dug up in the year 1779
and the materials were used to mend fences.
We have conversed with one who assisted in
this peice of wonton sacrilege. From the same
authority we learned with regret, that, had it
not been for the indifference of the ancestor of
the present Mr Campbell of Blythswood, on whose
property the cross stood, that monument might
have remained there to this day. It had become
loosened in the socket, and required a little repair.
The tenant on the farm offered to repair it
for a very slight consideration, this was refused
and time did its work. It either fell, or to
save it from breaking, it was removed and
built into the barn a short time before the
foundations of the Pedestal were dug up. |

County of Renfrew Parish of Renfrew
"Proceeding first to the highest point of the road between Renfrew and Paisley, and as it crosses the
Cockle Hill, we find a gate on the west side. Ninety-six yards from this gate, in a straight line
towards the north corner of the Knock farm-house, there was, at the period referred to, a circular
mound of earth, about twenty yards in diameter, surrounded by a moat five yards broad, the
mound having been apparently raised by the earth taken out of the moat. This mound was
commonly known by the name of the Kempe Knowe. The tradition is that there was at one time
a wager between the Scottish and English sovereigns; the latter having chalenged Scotland to furnish a man
able to fight a noted champion attendant on the English court; the former having accepted the challenge.
The King of Scotland being much perplexed to find a man competent to the task, offered 'The Inch' as a award to
any who should encounter the Englishman. At last Sir John Ross of Hawkhead offered his services, and arrangements
were made on the Knock-hill for the fight. The moat was filled with water and a large fire was kindled on
the mound, and the parties were expected to grant no terms. To escape was to meet death by drowning; and to
be vanquished was to perish,_ if not otherwise by fire. The Englishman was of large stature and renowned prowess
while Ross was only a private gentleman, and of small stature, but of great agility and muscular strength. Having
equipped himself with a dress of skin, the smoth side out, and rendered farther slippery with grease or oil, he appeared on
the ground with his more bulky antagonist. After many unavailing attempts to lay hold of Ross, the Englishman held out
his hands, inviting his antagonist to grasp them, and no doubt trusting to his superior strength against any advantage which
might thus be given. The invitation was 'palm my arm'. This, it seems, was the hold Ross most coveted. He seized the
Englishman by the wrists, and, by a sudden jerk, wrenched his shoulders out of their sockets, and made easy work
of him." New Statistical Acct. [Account], page.13. |
