Adam,

Can you say if Renfrewshire is complete? I have linked a couple from the list but there are 5 still showing and I noticed you mentioned Inchinnan in the 'to do' list.

While researching Glasgow Academy War Memorial I was looking up one of it's former pupils and the Search Engine threw up "Ranfurly Church" in Bridge of Weir. Apparently it has a memorial. Not sure if one that's been picked up.

I believe it is known as St Machar's Ranfurly.
