Erskine is best known for the bridge that carries its name across the Clyde, though the settlement itself has history stretching back to the 13th century.
The longest cable-stayed bridge in the world, once
The Erskine Bridge opened on 2 July 1971, officially inaugurated by Princess Anne, providing the first road link between Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire at this point on the Clyde. At 0.8 miles long, it was the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world when it was built, and today it still carries more than 35,000 vehicles every day.
A barony held by the Erskine family since the 13th century
The land itself has a much older story: from the reign of Alexander II, the Erskine family held the barony, and Erskine Castle was built in 1226 — centuries before the bridge gave the area its modern identity.
