Cochrane Castle

From UK Housing Wiki

Cochrane Castle is a housing estate in the Renfrewshire town of Johnstone. It was built in 1955 and extended five years later. Housing is mainly made up terraced ex-council houses and the five Tannahill Flats at the bottom. There is a planned private estate to be built on the grounds of the swing park at Scott Avenue[1]. There is a newsagents iin the scheme commonly known as "Istay's". The estate takes its name from The former cochrane castle that was demolished after lying in a state of disrepair for many years.

Many of the terraced houses are now privately owned and have a good reputation. Cochrane Castle has a higher than average elderly population meaning that it is much quieter than its much larger neighbours, Johnstone Castle and Howwood Road. Most crime is centred around the Tannahill Flats
