Historic Origins of Uplawmoor

Nestled in the rolling countryside of East Renfrewshire, Uplawmoor stands as a testament to Scotland’s rich tapestry of rural heritage. This charming village, characterized by its historic stone cottages and verdant woodlands, traces its origins back to medieval times. The name “Uplawmoor” itself hints at its topographical significance: “upland” referring to its elevated position and “moor” denoting the heathland that once dominated the landscape. As you wander along Main Street, you’ll pass buildings dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, many of which were originally farmhouses or weavers’ cottages, reflecting the village’s agrarian and textile-based past.
