Update on events
Paisley Heritage was established in 2012 to promote Paisley's significant history and culture. Initially launched as 'Paisley Mysteries', we have evolved into a vibrant global community of over 36,000 members, affectionately known as 'Buddies'. Through shared photographs, videos, stories, and legends, we bring the town's forgotten history to life. Our collective journey has led to discoveries like the concealed Terrace Tavern and the enigmatic Paisley Alien Gargoyle, featured in our branding alongside the town's acclaimed pattern. Our drone has captured the essence of Paisley Abbey and the Coats building. We present a treasury of 400 videos, with a collective viewership exceeding 4 million. Paisley Heritage transcends a mere repository; it unfolds as a narrative, intricately weaving the legacy of our town. We host events at local tourism attractions and our venue in the UWS, featuring speakers. These events are managed by our dedicated event manager, Rachael Smith. Our online store, paisleyshop.co.uk, offers prints, cups, T-shirts, books, and jewellery. The store's revenue enables us to host events and visit care homes to deliver engaging talks. We recently discovered we have 3,000 more followers than the Edinburgh Dungeon and plan to roll out a range of tourist attractions soon. We express our deepest gratitude to each member for their active participation, discussions, and contributions to exploring Paisley's rich history. Your unique perspectives enrich our community and preserve Paisley's heritage. The positive atmosphere within our platform is a testament to the collaborative spirit and support you, our cherished community, have fostered. Thank you for being an integral part of this incredible journey. Join us as we continue to rediscover and celebrate Paisley's unique history together! Explore Paisley Heritage's rich history on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter at @PaisleyHeritage.
