  Notes	Barrhouse is owned by Elderslie Estates, landlords of about a third of Renfrewshire for several centuries. We have made a preliminary foray into their archives and found records dated 1797 of an Allan Carswell renting Craig of Neilston and Barrhouse in the Neilstonside Estate, for £115 pa from 1786 to 1805. Prior to that in 1769 it is noted that John Carswell of Neilstonside rented Barrhouse for £9:8:4 (From letter by Bruce Henry dig director at Barrhouse.) Gravestone in front of church in Neilston.
