Erskine history
Archaeological evidence states that agricultural activity took place in the area as far back as 3000 BC. The first recorded mention of Erskine is at the confirmation of the church in 1207 by Florentius, Bishop of Glasgow. An influx of workmen moved to the area during 1836-41 due to construction of the Inverclyde railway line.
