Quarriers Village, located in the Gryffe Valley between Kilmacolm and Bridge of Weir, was established in 1876 by Glasgow shoemaker and philanthropist William Quarrier as the Orphan Homes of Scotland. The village was designed to provide a nurturing environment for orphaned children, featuring over 30 cottages, a school, a church, and even its own fire station. At its peak, the village accommodated up to 1,500 children, and over 40,000 children were cared for here until the complex closed in the mid-1980s.

Following its closure, many of the original buildings were converted into private residences, preserving the village's unique character and charm. The former hospital buildings, including the Bridge of Weir Hospital, were repurposed into residential flats, offering modern living spaces within historic structures. Today, Quarriers Village offers a peaceful and picturesque setting with a strong sense of community, making it a desirable location for those seeking a tranquil rural lifestyle with easy access to nearby towns and cities.
