Even before the Erskine Bridge was built, the chain ferry meant that this was an important crossing point.
Now it is an ideal place to enjoy a walk along the banks
of the Clyde. Going from Renfrew to Erskine along the A8,
over the Inchinnan bascule bridge, you pass one of the finest Art
Deco buildings in Scotland.The India of Inchinnan Building dates
from 1930 when it was designed by Thomas Wallis for India
Tyres. Wallis' firm also designed the famous Hoover factory in west
London.
The area also offers opportunities to enjoy walks along the
riverside.
