The small village of Bridge of Weir is located in the Renfrewshire authority to the west of Scotland's largest city, Glasgow. Neighbouring villages include Kilmacolm, Kilbarchan, Lochwinnoch, Houston and Brookfield. Historically, its biggest industry was leather, and at its productivity peak the small village supported three individual leather works, or 'tanneries'. The leather industry survives to this day, albeit on a smaller scale than during its heyday. While Bridge of Weir remains a vibrant small community, it has become something of a commuter haven, and has achieved a reputation of relative affluence along lines similar to Bearsden in the north of Glasgow and Newton Mearns in the south.
