The 1:50000 scale Landranger map shows the monument to be in square NS4472 whereas the 1:25000 scale Explorer map shows it in square NS4471. The Explorer map is shown to be correct by the satellite mapping of Geograph. The inscription on the monument reads: Erected by the county of Renfrew to the memory of the Right Honourable Robert Walter, 11th Lord Blantyre, a major general in the British Army and formerly Lord Lieutenant of Renfrewshire in testimony of respect for his public services and as a tribute of esteem for his private worth. The last line of the inscription gave a date but this is no longer decipherable.
