County of Renfrew -- Parish of Abbey
Notes - Cochrane Tower entry: "In the western extremity of the parish formerly stood the old tower of Cochrane, now demo-
lished, which gave name to the noble family of Dundonald as early as the 13th century." - Origines Parochiales Scotiae.
“Of the ancient manor place of the Cochranes, a family of great antiquity in Renfrewshire, and whose house and barony lay on the western side of the parish, no remains are to be seen. This was the principal manor of the Cochranes whose ancestors had possessed the lands well nigh five hundred years.” - New Statistical Account
