Place
Renfrewshire is central to Scotland’s economic, industrial and cultural success.
Just a few miles from Scotland’s largest city, it is home to:
- Paisley, Scotland’s largest town with its magnificent Abbey and the much-loved Paisley Pattern.
- Scotland’s Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District – an international centre for R&D – and the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland.
- Glasgow International Airport, connecting Scotland with key destinations around the world.
- Beautiful countryside including Clyde Muirshiel Park, Scotland’s largest regional park and Castle Semple Country Park.
With the £42million transformation of Paisley Museum; modern sports and leisure facilities; and beautiful towns and villages, the area is much sought after for those seeking urban or rural lifestyles.
Renfrewshire’s excellent air, rail and road connections make it popular with ambitious entrepreneurs and their families who value excellent schools, colleges and universities as well as open countryside, a network of cycleways and the opportunity to become part of some of Scotland’s most environmentally-aware communities.
Renfrewshire is an area that has always nurtured and celebrated people who make a difference.
Alongside these famous individuals are Renfrewshire’s local heroes – the people who, day-in-day-out, make a difference in communities across Renfrewshire. They represent the best of Renfrewshire. They are creative, ambitious, entrepreneurial and caring. They make Renfrewshire a great place to live and a great place to map out your future.
