A pretty Paisley break from the Glasgow Airport

Teri_F, Jul 2025

If you have some time to kill at the Glasgow Airport, this is a perfect outing. Just a short taxi or bus ride from the airport. There is even a place at the airport to store your luggage (for a small fee). A lovely walking tour through the main streets and backstreets of Paisley. Chock full of history, this was a wonderful tour. Hugh was a fabulous guide. I’m so glad that I did this.
