Renfrewshire
Renfrewshire is one of 32 unitary authority regions in Scotland. It borders onto North Ayrshire, East Renfrewshire, City of Glasgow, Inverclyde and West Dunbartonshire. The 1975-96 district of Renfrew covered a slightly larger area, and included the towns of Barrhead, Neilston and Uplawmoor, which, following the abolition of Strathclyde Region in 1996, were transferred into the new East Renfrewshire authority.
The traditional county of Renfrewshire covers a much larger region, including areas today administered as Inverclyde and East Renfrewshire. Historic Renfrewshire also includes several areas annexed to and subsequently enveloped by neighbouring Glasgow in the 1920s. Renfrewshire is retained as a Lieutenancy Area.
