Paisley, Abbey is a must see if you’re into seeing old churches and Abbeys. It’s a little out of town but well worth the trip. The exterior and interior are spectacular and is awe inspiring as any I’ve seen, having additions and rebuilds. And it is not overrun with tourists. I took the guided tour which was wonderful because nobody else showed up but me, the guide was a wealth of information and a delight to speak with and informed me that they wish they had more visitors. They have a little coffee and souvenir shop. Take some time and visit this wonderful old Abbey.

Very old. Very nice. Very important Abbey. Famous people from history are buried here. The tour is well worth doing. They have a cafe. Lookup and see the gargoyles search for the unusual alien one.

Beautiful
