Renfrewshire is a south west Scottish county. Although it is not a mountainous shire, it boasts a few hills, including East Girt Hill at 1,673 feet high, Misty Law at 1,663 feet, Creuch Hill at 1,446 feet, and the Hill of Stake. Along the borders of the southeast, it has several heights that reach up to 1,200 feet above sea level. The terrain proves to be more rolling than rugged. The centre of the county is covered in woods and is more elevated.
On the north border of the county is the Clyde River. Loch Thom lies along the northwest. Gryfe Reservoir provides neighboring towns and villages with water. The Glen Reservoir and Balgray Reservoir help to ensure the water supply for Glassgow. Additional lakes in the shire are Long Loch, Castle Semple Loch, Brother Loch, Binend Loch, Black Loch, and Dunwan Dam.
One extensive vale exists in the county, that of Strathgryfe. It runs from the Bridge of Weir to the reservoir, a full ten miles. Glenkillock is a forested ravine that features the Killock Burn that shows off three water falls. The shire's scenery is a mixture of wilderness and forlorn landscape gradually giving way to forest and grassy pasture land.
