Howwood, Renfrewshire
Howwood is a village in Renfrewshire, Scotland. It is located between Johnstone and Lochwinnoch, just off the A737 dual carriageway between the nearby town of Paisley and the Ayrshire border. It is served by Howwood railway station. Its name is listed in the late 19th century Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland (see: Gazetteer for Scotland) as "Howwood or Hollow-wood", [1] demonstrating the probable origins of its name.
Historically part of the civil parish of Lochwinnoch, it now supports its own Community Council.[2]
High above Howwood sits Castle Walls. Its history dates back to The Iron Age.
