Sma' Shot Cottages

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.

Start your trip off in style with a visit to the UpperDeck Lounge at Glasgow Airport. The fresh, modern, and relaxing lounge has something for everyone. Perfect for business or leisure – take the time to sit back before your journey with stunning views of the runway. Watch planes take off whilst taking advantage of the free Wi-Fi and complimentary drinks and snacks (alcoholic drinks are limited to four per person). Don’t worry about the kids, either – there’s an entertaining game zone to get them ready for their trip away. If it’s a special occasion, you can purchase prosecco and champagne to celebrate and make your getaway a trip to remember. Customers can use the lounge for up to three hours prior to your departure flight. The UpperDeck lounge is located after security and is only accessible with a valid boarding card.

Great way to start any trip is to start it in a VIP lounge, we have been in a few now and this one didnt dissapoint. clean, quiet, free wifi, good food and drinks. Although....the fresh juice machine gave me just water instead of apple juice, when I told the guy about it he just kind of gave me a look and said nothing. I thought he had changed the machine so I went back over and tried again but it was the same. I did find that very unhelpful.
