Paisley has a long history and first came to prominence with the establishment of its abbey in the 12th Century. It became a centre a major religious significance in Scotland and Paisley Abbey is the burial place of several Scottish Kings from the Stewart dynasty in the 13th-15th Centuries. During a darker era in Paisley’s history it was the scene of a major witch hunt in 1697, which resulted in the execution of 5 local women.
It was the last mass execution of those accused of witchcraft in the whole of Western Europe, and there is still a horse shoe symbol (traditionally used to ward off evil) marking the spot at Maxwellen Cross, where the remains of the so-called ‘Paisley Witches’ were buried. Paisley also has a long association with textiles and weaving and became well known for the distinctive pattern that bears the same name as the town. Paisley’s other famous exports include actors David Tenant, Tom Conti and Gerard Butler, and musicians Paolo Nutini and Gerry Rafferty.
