Bardrainney is a neighbourhood of Port Glasgow, in the Inverclyde district of Scotland.
Bardrainney, possibly from the Gaelic for "hill of thorns", is (post 2000) a housing area, dating from the 1950s and built by the local council, on the hills above Port Glasgow, just to the south of the A761 road to Kilmacolm. The area is called after the farm of that name whose fields the houses occupy. The farm buildings no longer exist, but they were roughly on the site of the house of Alexander Dalzell, factor to the Earls of Glencairn, on the highest spot in the area in the open space at the top end of the present Moss Road, and they may have co-existed with the house. <!-- (I'm not sure if this belongs or not) Dalzell had the reputation of being a warlock. One account states:
“We turn aside from the highway in order to pay a brief visit to Bardreney, a tall and deserted-looking building, standing on the top of a hill about a mile to the south-east of Port-Glasgow. For the latter years of the last century, and the early years of the present, this house was the abode of Alexander Dalzell, Esq., factor for the Earls of Glencairn and other gentlemen. He was a correspondent of Robert Burns, and to him is due the credit of first calling the attention of his Lordship, and of the family, to the merits of the Ayrshire ploughman . . . . He is described as having been in person tall and gaunt, and he lived single all his life. The schoolboys of Kilmacolm, when returning from the Port-Glasgow schools, were wont to feel frightened in the mirky gloamin' as they left the huge Bogle Stone behind and entered on the moors, lest they should meet Dalzell on the way; for a rumour ran that he had dealings wi' the deil . . . .” [Much About Kilmacolm, Alexander S Gibb, Glasgow,1872]. -->
