"In connection with the Same hill." (Knock-hill) it may
be added, that, on the side nearest Renfrew, the lower edge
of the hill is to this day called the "Butts", most probably as
marking a place of exercise for the practice of archery; and
thus confirming some of the preceding remarks respecting
the early state of the burgh."
