Renfrew, Scotland | olspan=2 align=center bgcolor="#9999ff"|Renfrew | | olspan=2 align=center| | Renfrew is a small town of 32,000 inhabitants, located six miles west of Glasgow on the west coast of Scotland. The town is located at the junction of the River Clyde and White Cart Water. A passenger ferry crosses the Clyde to Yoker and a swing bridge crosses the Cart to Inchinnan and Glasgow International Airport. Renfrew is known as the "Birthplace of the Royal Stewarts" and has held Royal Burgh status for over 500 years. The current Baron of Renfrew is Prince Charles. The burgh gives its name to the larger region of Renfrewshire, of which it is the former county town, however the function of administrative capital of the region now falls on the town's larger neighbour Paisley. The main weekly newspaper for the town of Renfrew is The Gazette which is currently one of Scotland's fastest-growing regional newspapers. Renfrew is home to the Matsui Babcock engineering firm and the Braehead out-of-town retail development.
