Paisley

In future I must remember to come to Paisley on a day other than Sunday. The last time I was here I also walked, although that time I followed the Sustrans cycle route. Don’t get me wrong Paisley is nice early on a Sunday, however most of the shops, especially the coffee shops are shut.

The wandering about did permit me to do my good deed for the day when I spotted an elderly lady having trouble getting up the step into Gilmour Street Railway station. I offered help & she said “just give me a shove in the back, son” I did and she was able to raise her foot to get up the step.

The Paisley War Memorial is an interesting combination. At the centre of the plinth is a Robert The Bruce type figure mounted on a horse with four figures of World War I soldiers around the horse.

I am having my Americano coffee in Aulds coffee shop in the shopping centre. The piped music from the centre is mainly 70′s disco music that reminds me of Primary School Discos.

The walk home starts soon.
