Gleniffer Braes is a short range of hills to the south of Paisley, Scotland ("brae" is the Scots word for hill) which form the boundary of Renfrewshire and Ayrshire. In the Braes are found the Robertson Country Park and the Scout adventure centre at Lapwing Lodge - formerly a TB Sanitorium built in 1910. A major electrical substation is here which was expanded in 2005 and covers the site of the former |WWII decoy ponds¹, as well as a radio transmitter. There used to be an inn called The Peesweep inn² (peesweep being a local term for the lapwing) nearby which was converted to a private house in 1925.³
