Renfrewshire (historic) history
Toponymy
Renfrewshire derives from the name of its county town, Renfroana . The name is believed to originate from Common Brittonic/Cumbric, from ren, as in Scottish Gaelic .
Early history
The earliest evidence of human activity in the area is traces of an Iron Age fort in the Busby area . When the Romans advanced in the year 80 from the Solway Firth, the territory that would later become Renfrewshire was occupied by the Damnonii, a British tribe .
Emergence of the county
In 1371, Robert Stewart was crowned King of Scotland following a marriage between his father and Marjorie Bruce, daughter of King Robert I of Scotland . The descendants of Walter Fitz Alan would eventually form the powerful House of Stuart, with ‘Stewart’ as a corruption of ‘Steward’
Modern history
Shires of Scotland traditionally mirrored sheriffdoms with the county’s Sheriff holding considerable position . From 1667, Scotland’s counties were covered by Commissioners of Supply with considerable powers of local government . However the judicial roles of the Sheriff continued to overlap with executive government in their shires .
