ARTHURLEE, several localities at and near Barrhead, Eenfrewshire. Cross-Arthurlee is a suburb, and was the place of the earliest bleachfield in Scotland. West Arthurlee is a neighbouring village. South Arthurlee is noted for the erection of an extensive printfield in 1835. Arthurlee estate belonged anciently to a branch of the noble family of Darnley, but underwent division among several proprietors, acquired several mansions, and became a populous seat of manufacturing industry. _ Arthurlee House, one of the mansions, is a handsome modern edifice. An ancient cross-shaft stands near that mansion, and was reinstated on its original site there in 1872.
