Cardonald history

---

In the 15th century the lands of Cardonald in Renfrewshire were the property of Johannes Norwald or Normanville, Dominus of Cardownalde. His granddaughter and heiress, Marion Stewart, married Allan Stewart, establishing the line of the Stewarts of the House of Stewart. A corn mill existed in the area from around 1789 until it was demolished in 1958. The transformation of the area was largely brought about by the coming of the railway and tram in the 19th century.
