Assemble around 11am, Gilmour St, Station. There is a wee cafe on the square that serves rolls 'n sausage etc with lashings of hot tea at much cheapness.

See where the witches burned.
Se where they were buried.
See where Tannahill's body was found.
See the site of the great canal disaster.
See the inside of a fair few 'Historic' pubs.
See the view from atop Saucel Hill.
See the remnants of Paisley's industrial past.
See the very spot where the lover leapt, crashed & burned.
See his spectacles, handkerchief & heart.
See the site of the great cinema fire.
See the inside of some more (more or less) historic pubs.
See the wonderful old, old fire station.
See the tomb that has a bell which can only be wrung from the inside. 8O
See the beautiful east end crematorium.
See the swan bejewelled remains of the Glasgow / Paisley Canal.
See actual dogging taking place at the car park in the sky.

I'm definitely interested - been meaning to visit Paisley for years and never got round to it, as is so often the case for me :roll: Looks like it might be quite a long day but I'll try and manage along for part of the time. :)

Is this family friendly?

It just so happens that this walk will coincide with Paisley's 'Open Day', so we will gain entry to most of the places of interest. How good is that?
