HOBBIES & GENERAL INTREST 
Paisley Photographic Society – Go to site
Paisley Photographic Society is the oldest photography club in Scotland and was founded in 1857. New members welcome, new members night first Monday of every month.

Paisley Photographs – Go to site
The photos on this site are buildings such as Paisley Abbey, Thomas Coats Memorial Church and St Mirin Cathedral as well as lots of other fascinating buildings containing items from our thread-making and weaving heritage such as Anchor Mill next to the Hammills waterfall, Paisley Museum, Sma’ Shot cottages and lots more. The Town has been at the centre of a lot of Scotland’s history too with Kings and Queens visiting the town frequently through the centuries’ and rich Thread Mill owners who left a legacy to the town.

Paisley has been photographed by so many over the years, when people move away from the town and look back at Paisley photographs they say to themselves “Isn’t Paisley beautiful? It was never like that when I was there”… A lot of people live all their lives in the same place and don’t notice the architecture, it’s only when they come back after a period away that they really appreciate what we have in our town.

The aim of Paisley Photographs and Paisley.org.uk has always been to promote a positive image of the town and what better way than snapping our own heritage and buildings. We have a thriving photo gallery on this site and we have always had a policy of encouraging people to share but to give us a mention if they don’t mind, thus spreading the positivity.

This attitude has always been successful and now you can own any of our photographs without any restrictions on how you use them. We have framed prints and canvas prints as well as digital downloads so you can share them with friends or put a nice photograph of Paisley Abbey in your reception area or living area, show Paisley off to everyone.
