Hurlet orThe Hurlet is a formermining village inEast Renfrewshire, Scotland. It is located around 2 miles (3 km) northeast ofBarrhead, near the boundaries of the council areas with Glasgow to the north andRenfrewshire to the west.
The Hurlet like the neighbouring areaNitshill was abundant withcoal. The area developed due to early 19th-century industrial advances, supplying coal and building stone to Glasgow. However, large deposits ofalum andcopperas were also discovered. Both minerals are pivotable in thedyeing process in thetextile industry, allowing the village to become significant in the county.[1]
During the late twentieth century, most of the Hurlet was consigned to the history books when theA726 road, which cut through the village, was widened to become adual carriageway.
