Paisley Abbey

12th century thats rather cool!!! great photo :-)))

Thanks, Jane!

Looking at this you would not think it is in such a busy situation.

No, you wouldn't, would you, Scotsgran? It's only a hop, skip and a jump away from the shopping centre. The Town Hall complex and the Abbey are in a park-like area with the River Cart running through it. You come round the corner of the Town Hall, and there is the beautiful old Abbey. It's a real surprise when you're not expecting it (and I wasn't!)

Very impressive building and interesting history

It is a beautiful building, yes, Bathgate. So solid, and "there" !

My very last public concert was in Paisley Town Hall Melchi. Brahms Requiem. One of my favourite works and a great one to go out on!

Brilliant!

It's a shame to see so many empty shops in Paisley at the moment, but that seems to be the same all over the place - here included.

Yes, I avoid Town Centres as much as ossicle. Very depressing. However, Dundee is having a massive make-over, which will reinvigorate the City, and hopefully bring more shops and eateries. It will be a few years yet, but it will be wonderful when finished. :) and we are getting a V&A as well, so things are on the up. :)

That's really impressive! Things are bound to take a turn for the better eventually. Our towns and cities have plenty of life in them yet!

Oh, I do hope so Melchi. We need to go back to the small independent shops in city centres. Specialists that offer something different to the massive chains.

We certainly do...

Thanks for the chat! It's taken the edge off the football!

I've really enjoyed it! Enjoy yourself - in spite of the football!
