More about this scene
Paisley has many historical connections. It is famous for the 'Paisley pattern' shawls which were the height of European fashion during most of the 19th Century. Paisley Abbey, a Cluniac monastery founded in 1163 and now a charge of the Church of Scotland, has much 14th- and 15th-century architecture and stained-glass windows. Although spinning and weaving were Paisley's main industries, there were also several shipyards along the banks of the River Cart. Note the different styles of street lights in this view. There are at least three on the right-hand side, and on the left there are the remains of gaslights.
