Darnley history

Historic estate of Darnley (anciently Derneley, etc., in Eastwood parish, Renfrewshire, 1.5 mi (2.4 km) east of Barrhead, was the seat of an ancient barony. In 1356, Robert Stewart, High Steward of Scotland, granted the barony to Sir John Stewart. It remained a possession of this branch of the house of Stewart. During the second half of the 20th century it experienced total transformation from being a modest semi-rural community to becoming a significant part of Glasgow’s response to post-war housing shortage.
