Renfrew airport had a magnificent terminal building and modern (for its time) control tower. The Tesco supermarket at Renfrew now stands on the actual site of the terminal. The M8 when it was built in the late 60's cut through the old runway location, but there are hangers from Renfrew still visible in the Hillington area.

A visit to the supermarket is worth it to see the painting Tesco commisioned of the original terminal building, lovely painting and a superb building. Glasgow Airport also have scale models of both Renfrew & Abbotsinch.
