NS 4815 6977 Crawfurd’s History of Renfrewshire (1710) noted some considerable remains of the old palace of Inchinnan but, by Semple’s day (1782), it was demolished. The OS located the palace at NS 4819 6965. This location, ‘south of Garnieland Farm’ was taken from Crawfurd and Semple’s histories, but in the intervening years the farm had been demolished and rebuilt to the S, within the outer wall of the palace. The recently rediscovered large scale survey of John Watt (c1730), held by Birmingham City Archives, shows the palace as a substantial U-shaped building within an enclosure, at NS 4815 6977.
