Ardentinny Outdoor Education Centre Commissioned by the former Renfrew County Council (Since 1996, Renfrewshire Council) in the early 1970s, it is now run by an independent organisation and caters for a wide range of groups and studies. I went to the centre as a school pupil in 1993 and 1996 and have many fond memories of the centre and the activities.
