Things to do in Paisley

Paisley Abbey
This majestic abbey was a Cluniac monastery, and is the present Church of Scotland parish kirk, situated on the west bank of the White Cart Water in the town of Paisley, Renfrewshire, west central Scotland, that had been founded by Saint Mirin in the 7th century. Since it was established such a long time ago, its history is phenomenal and quite lengthy, with many legends and stories about the Saint and the church. It is believed that one Walter FitzAlan, the first High Steward of Scotland would issue a charter for the priory to be constructed on the land that was owned by him in Paisley, with 13 monks coming here from the Cluniac priory in Much Wenlick in Shropshire to begin the priory that would grow incredibly quick that it would become an abbey in 1219, although King Edward I of England would have it burnt down in the 1307. It would be reconstructed in the 14th century. A story about Marjorie Bruce, the daughter of King Robert I of Scotland and wife of Walter Stewart, the sixth High Steward of Scotland, shares some of the numerous stories that have been put here, for various reasons. During the 15th and 16th centuries, a number of fires would destroy the abbey, although only parts of it completely, with the western section continued to be used for worship and the eastern part that had been destroyed would become the site of stone pickers that came here to steal stones for use in their houses, or barns. In the period from 1858 to 1928, the eastern and northern porches would be rebuilt on the remnants of the walls that had been ruined, and in 1244, monks left here to go to found the Crossraguel Abbey in Carrick, Ayrshire. The abbey is the burial place for six abbots or the high stewards of Scotland and Marjorie Bruce, the wife of Robert and the mother of Robert II, as well as the wives of Robert II and Robert III. The Celtic Barochan Cross that had been located in the village of Houston, Renfrewshire, is located inside the abbey, that many believe is dated from the 10th century. During the 1990s, an old and ancient vaulted drain, made in an excellent construction would be discovered running from the abbey to White Cart, that many believe was constructed in the 13th century, containing some fabulous relics and artifacts, with many of them now showcased in the abbey.

Coates Observatory
The Coates is one of the four observatories operating in the country of Scotland, with no others in all of the UK, and is situated in Paisley, designed by Glasgow architect, John Honeyman, financed by local thread maker, Thomas Coates, and run by the Paisley Philosophical Institution that had been founded in 1808. The structure has many outstanding features of Victorian architecture that also includes wrought iron workings from the Saracen Foundry in Possilpark, Glasgow, beautiful stained glass windows of Galileo, William Herschel and Kepler, as well as carvings created by John Young. The observatory would open in 1883, and the first telescope was a five inch refractor that had been constructed by Thomas Cooke of York, along with other equipment like a transit telescope, orrery and spectroscope. Another, ten inch refractor would be bought in 1898, made by Howard Grubb of Dublin, and it is still being used today, as well as the original Cooke refractor. In 1898, an additional pavilion would be constructed at the back of the observatory, which would house more astronomical and scientific apparatus and seismic recording equipment. That pavilion would be closed in 1930, and demolished in 1969, although the observatory would still continue to be used as a seismic monitoring station for the British Geological Survey.

The Burrell Collection
The Burrell Collection is an eclectic collection of art that had been collected over many years by shipping magnate and art collector, Sir William Burrell, who would leave his magnificent art collection to the city of Glasgow with stipulation that it be located some 16 miles from the center of the city, where the masterpieces could be showcased to their optimum potential, and to avoid the damaging effects of air pollution that had overtaken the city during that period. It would take the city more than twenty years to find a suitable location, although they would have to change some of the stipulations of Burrell's will, like having the museum just three miles from the city's center, after the Pollock Estate was also donated to the city in 1967. Then a postal strike in 1971 would delay the arrival of all entries for a design competition, with Barry Gasson winning the contest, getting help from Brit Anderson. It is an L shaped structure, specifically designed to preserve and showcase the collection in just the right way, with the bigger artifacts, like the Romanesque doorways being built into the new building that would optimize them even more so. Visitors enter the gallery through a 16th century stone archway constructed into the house with a modern red sandstone gable, and goes to another shop and other galleries, a central courtyard under glazed roof, next to three rooms from Burrell's house that were reconstructed. These had come from the Hutton Castle near Berwick-on-Tweed and included the dining room, hall and wood paneled drawing room, complete with all their furnishings. There are two floors containing smaller relics, that sit over a basement with a restaurant on the lowest floor that offers views of the marvelous lawn to the south. It was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1983 and named the nation's second greatest post war structure. It houses a magnificent collection of medieval artworks that include tapestries, oak furniture, Islamic art, stained glass, medieval weapons and armor, impressionist works by Degas and Cezanne, modern sculpture, relics from ancient Egypt and China and a large amount of artifacts from around the globe, collected by Burrell.

The gallery uses its public programs of modern art for an exchange of excellent ideas about human and life experiences, with workshops, regular family activities and projects that offer the community and visitors a chance for them to explore the many forms of art and perhaps, even realize some artistic talents of their own.
