Strathgryfe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strathgryffe or Gryffe Valley (both also spelled Gryfe) (Gaelic: Srath Ghriobhaidh) is the area in and surrounding the valley of the River Gryfe, extending over the local council areas of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde in the United Kingdom. Strathgryffe was in the past a region and a feudal lordship of Scotland.
[edit] History
The lands of Strathgryfe was granted by King David I to Walter fitz Alan, first High Steward of Scotland, and founder of the Stewart family in Scotland in the 1130s.
Strathgryfe was absorbed into the late medieval county of Renfrew, in which the Stewarts were to be based for centuries thereafter.
