The site is located 10 miles to the west of Glasgow, in the town of Renfrew which has a population of 22,000.

XSite Braehead, provides a range of leisure activities for all ages, including a snow slope, rock climbing and cinema together with a wide offering of bars and national restaurant operators. The town has experienced significant regeneration in recent years, with the development of Ferry Village, situated on the banks of the River Clyde. This is a residential community of 2000 homes which formed part of the Clyde Waterfront Regeneration Project. This initiative has attracted significant investment into the town over the last two decades and has established Renfrew as an attractive and convenient place to live and work. Connectivity to the town will be enhanced by the completion of a number of significant ‘City Deal’ infrastructure projects. This includes the realignment of Abbotsinch Road and construction of a road bridge at Wright Street, extending over the White Cart Water. A second road bridge over the River Clyde, providing a direct link between Renfrew and Yoker will be delivered in 2022. It is expected that these works will provide a significant boost to the local economy in Renfrew.
