Lochwinnoch is a village in the council area and historic area of Renfrewshire in the west main Lowlands of Scotland. Resting on the banks of Castle Semple Loch and also the River Calder, Lochwinnoch is primarily a property dorm village serving neighboring metropolitan centres such as Glasgow as well as Paisley. Its population in 2001 was 2628. The Community also offers its name to a civil church of some 50 sq mi (130 km2) of the bordering countryside, consisting of the close-by village of Howwood. The parish borders 7 others: Beith, Kilbarchan, Kilbirnie, Kilmacolm, Largs, Neilston and also Paisley. Today, Lochwinnoch primarily works as a residential town, along with a satellite to the major city of Glasgow. In 1972, a number of buildings in the town were brought within a newly defined Lochwinnoch Conservation Area as an area of special architectural importance for planning and setting objectives provided by the local authority. Lochwinnoch Primary School, the only school in the town, celebrated its centenary in 2005. In 2003 it was the centre of a notable alien big cat discovery scare. Youngsters were maintained inside throughout break times, as well as a police helicopter was brought in to search for the animal.
