Barrhead is a town in East Renfrewshire, Scotland, thirteen kilometres southwest of Glasgow city centre on the edge of the Gleniffer Braes. At the 2011 census its population was 17,268. Barrhead was formed when a series of small textile-producing villages gradually grew into one another to form one continuous town. According to local historian James McWhirter, the name "Barrhead" first appeared in 1750. Glanderston House, to the south, at one time belonged to the Stewart kings of Scotland.
