Inverclyde (''Inbhir Chluaidh'' in Gaelic ) is one of 32 Council Areas in Scotland . It borders onto Renfrewshire and North Ayrshire , and is otherwise surrounded by the Firth Of Clyde .

The area was a District in its own right, within Strathclyde Region , until 1996, and prior to 1975 was in the former County of Renfrewshire .

The name derives from the extinct Barony of Inverclyde ( 1897 ) conferred upon Sir John Burns of Wemyss Bay and his heirs.
