I have been working on a wee project of photographing old or unusual buildings in Paisley as Paisley has some absolutely great architecture. I am also photographing places of local interest. I though

PAISLEY NAMED TOWN OF THE YEAR 🏆 – AND WE COULDN’T BE PROUDER

Today the BBC confirmed what we already knew in our hearts. Paisley has been officially named Scotland’s Town of the Year at the Scotland Loves Local Awards.

This is more than an award. It is recognition of a town that refused to give up. A town that fought back against decline, empty shops and years of being written off. A town that rose again through belief, community and pure Buddie spirit.

From the Abbey to the mills, from the Paisley Pattern to the radical weavers, Paisley has always shaped history. Now we are shaping our future.

✅ Major cultural investment
✅ 20 new independent businesses opened this year
✅ Award-winning events from Halloween Festival to Food & Drink
✅ Museum reopening next year
✅ Town centre regeneration underway
✅ Local people stepping up to lead change

This is just the beginning. Paisley is proving that when a town backs itself, anything is possible.

To everyone flying the flag for Paisley – businesses, volunteers, artists, makers, historians, musicians, community groups and everyday Buddies who support local – this belongs to you.

Let’s keep going. Let’s make sure this momentum never stops. Paisley’s time is now.

Another small positive article about Paisley. There are three towns mentioned, Paisley is the second one.

Where tourists seldom tread, part 19: three UK towns with industrial legacies | United Kingdom holidays | The Guardian

There is also a photo of the third town with a cracking sculpture, which could fit in nicely somewhere in Paisley.

Interesting article. 

Of course people that live in Paisley, I've had a couple of discussions already this morning, and they both were far from as enthusiastic. 

I tried to point out small steps and these positives shouldn't be overshadowed by the not so desirable side of Paisley, and most towns. 

I would be interested in the prize winning report what, exactly, these 20 new business are as I'm afraid nail bars, Turkish barbers aren't particularly enticing. 

Also, how many businesses have been lost in the same period?
