The Sma' Shot Cottages are a major attraction in the Renfrewshire area, providing visitors with an insight into two distinct periods of Paisley's weaving history. Come along and join us in our tea room, where we serve beverages and homemade goods and share stories of the past. We are open April-September, every Wednesday and Saturday 12pm-4pm and Fridays 1-5pm. Group/private tours can be arranged on request. Sma' Shot Cottages are owned and run by the Old Paisley Society, a registered charity. Admission is free, however, all donations towards the upkeep of the cottages are gratefully accepted.

If you want to know more about how the weavers lived and worked in the textile industry in Paisley, this is the place to go. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. My friends son was allowed to ring the giant bell in the courtyard. Great tearoom too.

We saw Fountain Gardens which are the oldest park in Paisley, where we admired Grand Central Fountain - a very beautiful fountain with dolphins, angels. The fountain was created and built by George Smith and Company of the Sun Foundry. There were some very relaxing moments.

We rarely used this pub but always had nice experiences in it. During this time we have been feeling uncomfortable in our local as strangers were there almost sitting on top of us!!! Getting older and nearing the vulnerable we decided a change was needed. What a joy it was for us to come in here!! Felt comfortable immediately as all aspects were covered - no one escapes without giving details!!!! We booked to come again after our first visit and so happy we did. Drinks were served to perfection and Lisa was great. Made to feel so welcome and will definitely be back! X
