[County of Renfrew
Parish of Eaglesham]
[Hand-written Note attached]
Soame Burn, if spelled
as pronounced by the common
people, would be written Souan
Burn, as Mr Byrne has given
it on his Fenwick traces - But
I think he is wrong. On Mr.
Gilmour's Estate map, the name
Soame Burn occurs, and
Soame Bridge on Ainslie's Ph. [Parish]
Map. In both cases the
spelling is the same, and as
I have given it.
The same remarks apply to
Soame Bridge, which on the Fenwick
traces is styled Souan Bridge

Ordnance Survey - Renfrew county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Renfrew, which is in the west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
