Learn more about hotels in Paisley

Paisley's roots sink deep into Scotland's history, with the town coming into prominence in the 12th century following the establishment of Paisley Abbey, a significant religious epicenter favoured by the royal families of Bruce and Stewart. The town burgeoned under King James II's wish to consolidate the lands into one regality, leading to flourishing markets, trade and its reputation as a major hub for the textile industry.

Rich in heritage and riddled with intrigue, Paisley's colourful past speaks of early trades unionism and reformist zeal, often resulting in mass demonstrations and riots, including the Radical War of 1820. Remembering a historic dispute between weavers and employers, the annual Sma' Shot Day celebrations add to the city’s vibrant tapestry.

When to visit Paisley

The ideal time to visit Paisley is between May and September when the weather is relatively warm, perfect for outdoor explorations and enjoying the Scottish countryside. June, July, and August tend to be the warmest months, though it's wise to keep your waterproofs at hand, just in case!

If you're keen to avoid peak tourist season and enjoy a quieter stay, consider booking your visit in February – it's a bit chillier, but you'll enjoy lower hotel prices. Scotland's natural beauty shines year-round, so there's always plenty to do, rain or shine.
