Renfrew (Écosse)

Renfrew (en gaélique écossais Rinn Friù) est une ville et ancien burgh royal d'Écosse, situé à l'ouest de Glasgow, sur la côte occidentale écossaise. C'était le chef-lieu du comté du Renfrewshire jusqu'en 1975. De 1975 à 1996, il fit partie du district de Renfrew, région du Strathclyde. Il est maintenant situé dans le Council Area du Renfrewshire. Renfrew se situait jadis sur la Clyde, mais celle-ci ayant changé de lit, c'est un canal qui joint la Clyde qui baigne la ville. Le comté de Renfrew (Renfrewshire) était jadis l'apanage de la famille Stuart, qui arriva plus tard au trône d'Écosse. L'héritier présomptif au trône du royaume d'Écosse, le duc de Rothesay, porte encore aujourd'hui le titre de baron de Renfrew.

King George V Dock, Glasgow

King George V Dock is a dock for ocean-going vessels operated by the Clyde Port Authority in the Shieldhall (Govan) area of Glasgow. It is located near Braehead in Renfrewshire and lies on the boundary between the council areas of Renfrewshire and the City of Glasgow. A large single basin with unrestricted entry, it opened in 1931 to accommodate the larger vessels then beginning to service the Clyde and was named after George V, the reigning monarch. It is the largest dock on the Upper Clyde, as well as the only operational one within Glasgow's city boundary. The dock currently deals with dry bulk cargoes, including animal feeds, grains, chemicals and industrial equipment, and offers easy transfer of goods to the M8 motorway and the national rail network via the remaining stub of the Glasgow and Renfrew District Railway and the Inverclyde Line.

Braehead Shopping Centre

Braehead Shopping Centre , located in Renfrew, Scotland, opened in September 1999 and comprises 98,474 m2 (1,059,970 sq ft) of retail and leisure floorspace. The centre has 110 shops in the main covered mall, and a further 10 in a retail park of larger stores. Since opening, the centre has proved popular with consumers, and it has even been blamed for a downturn in the fortunes of shops in nearby Paisley, Govan and Renfrew. Sited within the same building as the shopping centre is the Braehead Arena and other facilities including an ice rink. In 2000, its curling facilities hosted the World Championships, and in 2005 they were used as training facilities when the Women's World Championships were being held in Paisley. The area is known for its shopping centre of the same name, which was rebranded as Intu Braehead in 2013 and kept that name until 2020. The rebranding was done as part of a corporate rebranding exercise by Capital Shopping Centres plc, which itself was renamed as Intu Properties PLC.
