Renfrewshire (''Siorrachd Rinn Friù'' in Gaelic ) is one of 32 unitary authority regions in Scotland . It borders onto North Ayrshire , East Renfrewshire , City Of Glasgow , Inverclyde and West Dunbartonshire . It is named for the historic Renfrewshire county.

The 1975-96 District of Renfrew covered a slightly larger area, and included the towns of Barrhead , Neilston and Uplawmoor , which, following the partition of Strathclyde Region in 1996, were transferred into the new East Renfrewshire authority.
