I live in Renfrewshire Scotland and I have traced my family back to 1780 and they have
always lived in Renfrewshire. I understand that the name CARRUTH derives from the hamlet
of CORRAITH near West Kilbride on the West coast of Scotland.
I have always understood that the family migrated inland from Corraith to the lands of
Renfrewshire about the 13th century and they eventually became known as CARRUTH's
Hope this is of interest.
