Paisley Abbey
Paisley Abbey is a former Cluniac monastery, and current Church of Scotland Protestant parish kirk, located on the east bank of the White Cart Water in the centre of the town of Paisley, Renfrewshire, about 12 miles (19 km) west of Glasgow, in Scotland.
History
It is believed that Saint Mirin (or Saint Mirren) founded a community on this site in 7th century. Some time after his death a shrine to the Saint was established becoming a popular site of pilgrimage and veneration. The name Paisley may derive from the Brythonic Passeleg, 'basilica' (derived from the Greek), i.e. 'major church', recalling an early, though undocumented, ecclesiastical importance.
In 1163 Walter FitzAlan, the first High Steward of Scotland issued a charter for a priory to be set up on land owned by him in Paisley. It was dedicated to SS. Mary, James, Mirin and Milburga. Around 13 monks came from the Cluniac priory at Much Wenlock in Shropshire to found the community. Paisley grew so rapidly that it was raised to the status of abbey in 1245. Monks from Paisley founded Crossraguel Abbey in Carrick, Ayrshire, in 1244. In 1307, Edward I of England had the abbey burned down. However, it was rebuilt later in the 14th century. William Wallace, born in nearby Elderslie is widely believed to have been educated for some time when he was a boy in the abbey.

Paisley (/ˈpeɪzli/; Scottish Gaelic: Pàislig) is the largest town in the historic county of Renfrewshire in the west central Lowlands of Scotland and serves as the administrative centre for the Renfrewshire council area. The town is situated on the northern edge of the Gleniffer Braes, straddling the banks of the White Cart Water, a tributary of the River Clyde.
The town, a former burgh, forms part of a contiguous urban area with Glasgow; Glasgow city centre is 6.9 miles (11.1 km) to the east. The town came to prominence with the establishment of Paisley Abbey in the 12th century, an important religious hub in medieval Scotland which formerly had control over the other churches in the local area. It is regularly cited as 'Scotland's largest town' as it has yet to attain official city status.
By the 19th century, Paisley had established itself as a centre of the weaving industry, giving its name to the Paisley shawl and the Paisley Pattern. The town's associations with political Radicalism were highlighted by its involvement in the Radical War of 1820, with striking weavers being instrumental in the protests. As of 1993, all of Paisley's mills had closed, although they are memorialised in the town's museums and civic history.

Paisley (design)
Paisley or Paisley pattern is a term in English for a design using the buta or boteh, a droplet-shaped vegetable motif of Persian (i.e. Iranian) origin. Such designs became very popular in the West in the 18th and 19th centuries, following imports of post-Mughal versions of the design from India, especially in the form of Kashmir shawls, and were then imitated locally. The pattern is sometimes called Persian pickles by American traditionalists, especially quilt-makers, or "Welsh pears" in Welsh textiles as far back as 1888.
Origins
Resembling a twisted teardrop, the fig-shaped paisley is of Persian (i.e. Iranian) origin, but its western name derives from the town of Paisley, in West Scotland, a center for textiles where paisley designs were produced.
Some design scholars believe it is the convergence of a stylized floral spray and a cypress tree: a Zoroastrian symbol of life and eternity. Paisley is the quintessential visual metaphor of Iran’s bifurcated and tormented identity – riven between Arabic Islam and pre-Islamic Persian creeds. It is a bent cedar, and the cedar is the tree Zarathustra planted in paradise. The heavenly tree was “bent” under the weight of the Arab invasion and Muslim conquest of Persia. The "bent" cedar is also the sign of strength and resistance but modesty. The floral motif was originated in the Sassanid Dynasty and later in the Safavid Dynasty of Persia (from 1501 to 1736), and was a major textile pattern in Iran during the Qajar and Pahlavi Dynasties. In these periods, the pattern was used to decorate royal regalia, crowns, and court garments, as well as textiles used by the general population.

Inside The Paisley Abbey Like Never Seen Before
Paisley Abbey came to be when Walter Fitzalan signed a charter at Fotheringay in 1163. He was a descended of the Norman conquerors and in 1141 was brought to Scotland by King David the first, the son of Malcolm Canmore and Saint Margaret. He was made High Steward of Scotland,a position that became hereditary. With many extensive lands in Renfrewshire and Ayrshire, he built his Castle in Renfrew. His charter gave the necessary land and revenue for the building and upkeep of the monastery. Thirteen monks came from Wenlock in Shropshire to set up a priory answerable to the Abbey Cluny but the priory became an abbey, answerable only to Rome, in 1245.There would have been several side chapels and a screen at the crossing at that time.

PAISLEY ABBEY: dating from 1163, see the interior, St Mirin's Chapel and the roof
Paisley Abbey was founded when Walter Fitzalan, the High Steward of Scotland, signed a charter at Fotheringay for the founding of a Cluniac monastery on land he owned at Paisley. Thirteen monks came from Much Wenlock in Shropshire to set up the priory on the site of an old Celtic church founded by St. Mirin in the 6th century. In 1245, the priory was raised to the status of an Abbey, answerable only to the pope in Rome. The Abbey was dedicated to St. Mary, St. James, St. Mirin (the 'local' saint who had first brought Christianity to this part of Scotland in the sixth century) and St. Milburga (the 'local' saint of Wenlock). Under royal patronage, the Abbey became wealthy and influential and evidence exists of extensive trade between Paisley Abbey and commercial centres throughout Europe. ...

Explore the magnificent medieval Paisley Abbey drain of Paisley's history | Renfrewshire Council
The great medieval Paisley Abbey drain is one of Paisley’s best historical assets. The abbey was originally a priory, founded in 1163 by Walter FitzAlan who was a knight of Breton origin. Later, it became Paisley Abbey and the Cradle of the Royal House of Stewart. After a fire destroyed much of the original building in 1307, restoration works took place. Archaeology suggests that this is when the Abbey drain was also built. The drain was discovered in the early 1990s during an archaeological dig. It's believed to be around 100 metres long, although only a small part in currently accessible. It is made with finely crafted stone-lined 6ft high walls and it believed to have carried waste materials from the Abbey complex to the nearby White Cart river. The exit for the drain was uncovere...

Princess Marjory Bruce, King Robert II and Paisley Abbey
The Marjory Bruce Memorial Cairn at Gallowhill, Knock near Paisley is said to be the site where in 1316 she fell whilst heavily pregnant and her son Robert II was delivered by Caesarian. Damage to his eye resulted in her name 'Queen Blearie'. The fact behind the fiction may be that she gave birth at Renfrew Castle and the original memorial was at Kemp Knowe and commemorated the battle where Somerled, Lord of the Isles was killed. The anglicised version of the Scottish Gaelic for 'memorial of battle' sounds like 'Queen Blearie' and this is thought to be the root of the legend. Marjory was originally buried in the Chapter House of Paisley Abbey and her present memorial tomb is a composite of parts of the old Rood screen and an effigy from an unknown grave taken from the cemetery.

Paisley Abbey was founded when Walter Fitzalan, the High Steward of Scotland, signed a charter at Fotheringay for the founding of a Cluniac monastery on land he owned at Paisley. Thirteen monks came from Much Wenlock in Shropshire to set up the priory on the site of an old Celtic church founded by St. Mirin in the 6th century. In 1245, the priory was raised to the status of an Abbey, answerable only to the pope in Rome. The Abbey was dedicated to St. Mary, St. James, St. Mirin (the 'local' saint who had first brought Christianity to this part of Scotland in the sixth century) and St. Milburga (the 'local' saint of Wenlock).
Under royal patronage, the Abbey became wealthy and influential and evidence exists of extensive trade between Paisley Abbey and commercial centres throughout Europe. The Abbey was also a centre of learning and it is believed that William Wallace, who played a prominent part in the Wars of Independence in the 13th century, was educated by the monks of Paisley Abbey. Much of the original building was destroyed by fire in 1307 and restored during the fourteenth Century. The sixth High Steward, Walter, married Marjory Bruce, the daughter of the famous Scottish king Robert the Bruce (who had defeated an English army at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314) in 1315. In the following year, Marjory died at the Abbey following a tragic riding accident nearby, but the baby in her womb was saved and he became King Robert II of Scotland, the first of the Stewart monarchs. For that reason, the Abbey claims to be the 'cradle of the Royal House of Stewart.' Our present Queen is descended from him. In fact, the Abbey is the final resting place of six High Stewards of Scotland, Princess Marjory Bruce, the wives of King Robert II and King Robert III for whose tomb, Queen Victoria provided a canopy in 1888 (shown above).
The collapse of the central tower in the mid-16th century destroyed the transepts and choir and a wall was built across the east end of the nave. At the Scottish Reformation in 1560, the monastery was disbanded, the monastic buildings handed over to the Hamilton family and the walled-off nave became the parish church of Paisley. The transepts and choir were to remain in ruins until the late 19th and early 20th centuries when they were restored to create one of the finest churches in Scotland.

Shadows of brilliant ways will change all the time
Memories, burning gold memories
Cold of day memories change me in these times
Somewhere there is some place, that one million eyes can't see
And somewhere there is someone, who can see what I can see
Someone; Somewhere; In Summertime
Someone; Somewhere; In Summertime
Someone; Somewhere; In Summertime
Someone; Somewhere; In Summertime
Stay, I'm burning slow
With me in the rain, walking in the soft rain
Calling out my name
See me burning slow
Moments burn, slow burning golden nights
Once more see city lights, holding candles to the flame
Brilliant days, wake up on brilliant days
Shadows of brilliant ways will change me all the time
Somewhere there is some place, that one million eyes can't see
And somewhere there is someone, who can see what I can see
Someone; Somewhere; In Summertime
Someone; Somewhere; In Summertime

The great medieval Paisley Abbey drain is one of Paisley’s best historical assets.
The abbey was originally a priory, founded in 1163 by Walter FitzAlan who was a knight of Breton origin. Later, it became Paisley Abbey and the Cradle of the Royal House of Stewart.
After a fire destroyed much of the original building in 1307, restoration works took place. Archaeology suggests that this is when the Abbey drain was also built.
The drain was discovered in the early 1990s during an archaeological dig. It's believed to be around 100 metres long, although only a small part in currently accessible. It is made with finely crafted stone-lined 6ft high walls and it believed to have carried waste materials from the Abbey complex to the nearby White Cart river. The exit for the drain was uncovered recently and is around 3 metres from the banks of the present-day river. In the past, the river was much wider and shallower than it is today.
Carved slates, some of which exhibit the earliest written polyphonic music discovered in Scotland, as well as the largest assemblage of medieval pottery recovered from any Scottish site, were also discovered. A wealth of objects, including rare specimens of organic wood, leather and plant remains, were also uncovered.

The Marjory Bruce Memorial Cairn at Gallowhill, Knock near Paisley is said to be the site where in 1316 she fell whilst heavily pregnant and her son Robert II was delivered by Caesarian. Damage to his eye resulted in her name 'Queen Blearie'. The fact behind the fiction may be that she gave birth at Renfrew Castle and the original memorial was at Kemp Knowe and commemorated the battle where Somerled, Lord of the Isles was killed.
The anglicised version of the Scottish Gaelic for 'memorial of battle' sounds like 'Queen Blearie' and this is thought to be the root of the legend. Marjory was originally buried in the Chapter House of Paisley Abbey and her present memorial tomb is a composite of parts of the old Rood screen and an effigy from an unknown grave taken from the cemetery.

Paisley Abbey came to be when Walter Fitzalan signed a charter at Fotheringay in 1163. He was a descended of the Norman conquerors and in 1141 was brought to Scotland by King David the first, the son of Malcolm Canmore and Saint Margaret. He was made High Steward of Scotland,a position that became hereditary. With many extensive lands in Renfrewshire and Ayrshire, he built his Castle in Renfrew. His charter gave the necessary land and revenue for the building and upkeep of the monastery. Thirteen monks came from Wenlock in Shropshire to set up a priory answerable to the Abbey Cluny but the priory became an abbey, answerable only to Rome, in 1245.There would have been several side chapels and a screen at the crossing at that time. The Abbey was dedicated to St Mary St James St Mirin and St Milburga.
In 1164 Walter Fitzalan defeated Somerled,Lord of the isles at Inchinnan. Alan second Steward helped Richard the Loin heart with the Third Crusade in 1189.Under Walter, the third Steward monks from Paisley set up the Abbey of Crossraguel in 1244 Alexander the fourth Steward played a distinguished part at the Battle of Largs in 1263.
By 1286 Paisley Abbey rich and powerful served all southwest Scotland. In that year King Alexander III died tragically and his successor a three-year-old granddaughter, the Maid of Norway died on her way across the North Sea in 1290.Now began a war that would last 300 years between the would-be rulers of Scotland and England. John Balliol the nearest of 13 or more claimants became King but was deposed by Edward 1st in 1296.William Wallace, the Knight of Elderslie educated possibly at the Paisley Abbey won a battle at Stirling Bridge but lost at Falkirk in 1298.In 1306 Robert the Bruce was crowned at Scone but failed to win in battle and fled for a while in time. The fifth high Steward Walter Stewart married Marjory Bruce daughter of Robert the Bruce in 1315.In the following year, she died in the Abbey infirmary following a riding accident in Renfrew a few miles or so from the Abbey in Paisley. At that time Marjory was pregnant and the child in her womb was saved. He became Robert II the first of the Royal Stewarts. From him, our present Queen Elizabeth is descended.
Buried in the Abbey are the six High Stewards, Marjory Bruce, Robert II`s wives and Robert III
In 1498 the Abbey was damaged in an accidental fire but was soon restored around 1553 the Tower collapsed destroying the roofs and upper walls of the North transept crossing the Choir. These lay open the sky for the next 350 years. The Nave was walled off and the Reformation was served as the Parish Church of Paisley. The St Mirin chapel became a totally separate chapel and was used by the Hamilton Family who acquired the old monastic buildings The place of paisley) The choir was used as Graveyard. In 1673 Lord Dundonald(of the Cochrane Family) bought the Place of Paisley and Jean married Graham of Claverhouse (Bonnie Dundee) in the Chapel in 1684. The Hamilton's brought back the Place in 1764,but around 1800 rented it out as shoddy houses, pubs, and pawn-shops. The Kirk Session bought it back in 1904 for restoration.
In 1858-62 the North porch of the Abbey and the walls of the North transept were restored. Between 1890 and 1907 the north transept and crossing were re-roofed, then rejoined to the nave. In the 1920`s the choir was rebuilt as we see it today and rededicated in 1928.In 1980-81 a new timber ceiling was erected in the nave to replace a "temporary" plaster ceiling that has been erected in 1788. Since 1989 an extensive restoration has been undertaken to both the Abbey and the Place.
Paisley Abbey is a great place to visit! We hope you enjoyed our video of this beautiful building.

Paisley Abbey was founded when Walter Fitzalan, the High Steward of Scotland, signed a charter at Fotheringay for the founding of a Cluniac monastery on land he owned at Paisley. Thirteen monks came from Much Wenlock in Shropshire to set up the priory on the site of an old Celtic church founded by St. Mirin in the 6th century. In 1245, the priory was raised to the status of an Abbey, answerable only to the pope in Rome. The Abbey was dedicated to St. Mary, St. James, St. Mirin (the 'local' saint who had first brought Christianity to this part of Scotland in the sixth century) and St. Milburga (the 'local' saint of Wenlock).
Under royal patronage, the Abbey became wealthy and influential and evidence exists of extensive trade between Paisley Abbey and commercial centres throughout Europe. The Abbey was also a centre of learning and it is believed that William Wallace, who played a prominent part in the Wars of Independence in the 13th century, was educated by the monks of Paisley Abbey. Much of the original building was destroyed by fire in 1307 and restored during the fourteenth Century. The sixth High Steward, Walter, married Marjory Bruce, the daughter of the famous Scottish king Robert the Bruce (who had defeated an English army at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314) in 1315. In the following year, Marjory died at the Abbey following a tragic riding accident nearby, but the baby in her womb was saved and he became King Robert II of Scotland, the first of the Stewart monarchs. For that reason, the Abbey claims to be the 'cradle of the Royal House of Stewart.' Our present Queen is descended from him. In fact, the Abbey is the final resting place of six High Stewards of Scotland, Princess Marjory Bruce, the wives of King Robert II and King Robert III for whose tomb, Queen Victoria provided a canopy in 1888 (shown above).
The collapse of the central tower in the mid-16th century destroyed the transepts and choir and a wall was built across the east end of the nave. At the Scottish Reformation in 1560, the monastery was disbanded, the monastic buildings handed over to the Hamilton family and the walled-off nave became the parish church of Paisley. The transepts and choir were to remain in ruins until the late 19th and early 20th centuries when they were restored to create one of the finest churches in Scotland.

An Alien Gargoyle on a historic 12th Century Scottish Abbey has caused a social media sensation with its resemblance to the monster from the Alien films.
In 2013 someone took a photograph of the out of place feature and it became hugely popular on social media, and there was good reason for it.
In 2018 the Alien gargoyle Image was once again being talked about on social media due to an update on the Abbey’s Facebook page.
Any Sci-Fi movie fan will instantly recognize the familiar design of the alien looking gargoyle, which has a striking similarity to the creature in all of the Alien movies with Sigourney weaver.
Paisley Abbey is located in the town of Paisley in Scotland, the town was a significant religious center in the 12th century, thanks to the construction of Paisley Abbey which still stands proudly today.
Thanks for watching.

The great medieval Paisley Abbey drain is one of Paisley’s best historical assets.
The abbey was originally a priory, founded in 1163 by Walter FitzAlan who was a knight of Breton origin. Later, it became Paisley Abbey and the Cradle of the Royal House of Stewart.
After a fire destroyed much of the original building in 1307, restoration works took place. Archaeology suggests that this is when the Abbey drain was also built.
The drain was discovered in the early 1990s during an archaeological dig. It's believed to be around 100 metres long, although only a small part in currently accessible. It is made with finely crafted stone-lined 6ft high walls and it believed to have carried waste materials from the Abbey complex to the nearby White Cart river. The exit for the drain was uncovered recently and is around 3 metres from the banks of the present-day river. In the past, the river was much wider and shallower than it is today.
Carved slates, some of which exhibit the earliest written polyphonic music discovered in Scotland, as well as the largest assemblage of medieval pottery recovered from any Scottish site, were also discovered. A wealth of objects, including rare specimens of organic wood, leather and plant remains, were also uncovered.

Paisley Abbey
Paisley Abbey is a former Cluniac monastery, and current Church of Scotland Protestant parish kirk, located on the east bank of the White Cart Water in the centre of the town of Paisley, Renfrewshire, about 12 miles (19 km) west of Glasgow, in Scotland.
History
It is believed that Saint Mirin (or Saint Mirren) founded a community on this site in 7th century. Some time after his death a shrine to the Saint was established becoming a popular site of pilgrimage and veneration. The name Paisley may derive from the Brythonic Passeleg, 'basilica' (derived from the Greek), i.e. 'major church', recalling an early, though undocumented, ecclesiastical importance.
In 1163 Walter FitzAlan, the first High Steward of Scotland issued a charter for a priory to be set up on land owned by him in Paisley. It was dedicated to SS. Mary, James, Mirin and Milburga. Around 13 monks came from the Cluniac priory at Much Wenlock in Shropshire to found the community. Paisley grew so rapidly that it was raised to the status of abbey in 1245. Monks from Paisley founded Crossraguel Abbey in Carrick, Ayrshire, in 1244. In 1307, Edward I of England had the abbey burned down. However, it was rebuilt later in the 14th century. William Wallace, born in nearby Elderslie is widely believed to have been educated for some time when he was a boy in the abbey.

Have You Seen Her Lately?
by: PulpFirst you let him in your bed. Now he's moved inside your head.
And he directs all the dreams you are dreaming.
I saw a friend of yours today
She called me over just to say "I dunno if you've seen her lately but God she's looking rough".
No don't go round to see him tonite, he's already made such a mess of your life.
Find something else to do with your time & do it quickly while you've still got the chance.
'Do you think he'll fall apart? Do you think you'll break his heart?
If you leave him on his own.
You are dreaming 'cos he can fasten all his clothes, tie his laces, blow his nose.
It's time to teach him how to walk, yeah, teach your baby how to walk away.
No don't go round to see him tonite...
You're not his mother & you're not sister & brother.
He's not even your lover. He's just a piece of luggage you should throw away.
No don't go round tonite...etc. No don't go round tonite, you'll never make it right.
He's already made such a mess of your life.
