is a a
Registration County of
Scotland . It was also used for administrative purposes as a
County of
Scotland until 1975, and between 1890 and 1975 it had its own elected
County Council . Since 1975 the county was administrated as part of the newly-created
Strathclyde Region .
It covers the current council areas of
Renfrewshire ,
East Renfrewshire and
Inverclyde , each roughly corresponding to the former Strathclyde
Districts of
Renfrew ,
Eastwood and Inverclyde, respectively.
Renfrewshire as a registration county includes several areas annexed to and subsequently enveloped by neighbouring Glasgow in the 1920s. The county is also retained as a
Lieutenancy Area and is still used in postal addresses.
The unofficial
County Flower of Renfrewshire is the
Bogbean , following a nationwide competition organised by the charity
Plantlife in 2002.
