The collection of well over 4000 images has revealed some unique photographs taken in Renfrewshire  dating back to the early 1900’s . This will be followed by a short talk on how we handle webmail enquiries\, web site\,facebook\, research work and our field trips.  If you have an interest in any aspect of the above please speak with any committee member present and we will explain further details to you.

SUMMARY:An introduction to Renfrewshire's land-assessment system\,  Denis Rixson
DESCRIPTION:For anyone interested in the early history of Renfrewshire we have very limited historical  records; what archaeology tells us and what place-names imply. However we conjure it\, the legacy is sparse and we must extract all that we can from those records we do have.  There is one source of historical information which has been relatively neglected and that is land-assessment. Land-assessment simply means the study of the relative valuations put on land over many centuries. It sounds tedious. Dry-as-dust collections of data where Farm A is worth so many merklands\, Farm B so many pennylands and Farm C a davach\, an arachor\, or a carucate. But\, put it all together and the landscape soon reveals an arithmetic pattern. The earliest settlers in Renfrewshire behaved exactly as they did in every other cultivable county in Britain. They divided up the landscape in a coherent manner and gave it a fiscal overlay. In most parts of Scotland there are at least two fiscal overlays\, geared to each other by exchange rates. Arithmetic is the key to unlocking these systems and the relationships between them. \nFrom Inverkip to Houston Parish\, 1065 to the present day. If you have ever wondered where nameplaces and areas within the  old  County of Renfrewshire came about this is definately for you. \nDenis has published several  books on the Scottish Highlands some you may know :  The West Highland Way\,  Arisaig & Morar\,  Knoydart\,  The Hebridean Traveller and more.

SUMMARY:"We wined them and dined them\, they ate o' our meat; new insights into subsistence\, settlement and status in Early Modern Glencoe.   Edward Stewart\, University of Glasgow
DESCRIPTION:From travellers’ accounts and romantic re-imaginings perceptions of the Highlands of Scotland as a backward\, isolated and impoverished region in the early modern period dominate popular narratives around landscapes such as Glencoe\, and frame events such as the Cromwellian\, Williamite and Jacobite wars. Recent excavations by the University of Glasgow and National Trust for Scotland in Glencoe at the Summerhouse of Maclain\, and townships of Achnacon and Achtriochtan\, and shielings of Gleann Leac-na-Muidhe\, can allow us to construct new narratives around the connectivity of communities in this region  and the strategies these communities developed for subsistence.  These excavations allow us to build a picture of life in Glencoe before and after the events of the 1692 massacre and consider the responses of the communities of this landscape to this event\, and the worsening climatic conditions of the Little Ice Age.
