Our history is very important to us, from our history we can establish what brought the village about and what shaped our lives here. 

Speaking about history, did you hear the one about...............Today is history and tomorrow is history, yesterday will never happen again, the stunning thing about history is that we never think it's important at the time. Imagine, if we dare, we could go back in time and look at the village 100 years ago, no cars, no electricity and, get ready for this shock to the system - no TV!!!! How did they survive without cartoon network? The moon was a mysterious romantic symbol for lovers, not traveled to and explored. People have toiled for many years to overcome and advance, characters have come and gone and we're the poorer for not knowing them.

We have the chance now to save our future history, on film and in writing, to be treasured by everyone now and not yet born,

Our legacy is their future!

The following sections will be built up over time, eventually forming into a record of the past as well as life in our times. We need your help!!!!!! Do you have photographs taken in the village? any old records, newspaper or magazines, any old publications? From last year to last century we need your help. We can carefully scan the details and return them to you giving you full credit as the owner

EXPLANATION
Inchinnan History is extracted from books about the village, because we don't know anyone who lived in the area 200 years ago!, while people's history is about ordinary peoples recollections, fascinating and enlightening, Photo history is about comparing photographs of the same area or building throughout the years, while future history is about what we believe the village will look like in 100 years time, in the time of your children's children :-).
RHF is a page for the Renfrewshire Historical Forum who try to reveal all about our pasts.
