He told the Paisley Daily Express: “It is fantastic to see Paisley’s tourism transformation continue with the launch of this new brand and website.
“The town is home to popular attractions, such as Paisley Abbey, Paisley Museum, Coats Observatory and Sma’ Shot Cottages; a rich and fascinating creative history and a packed programme of exciting events. “The 2021 UK City of Culture bid was an important part of the journey to raise global awareness of Paisley’s internationally- significant heritage.
“The new Paisley Is website continues this effort, sharing Paisley’s story with visitors old and new. Tourism is a vital part of the local economy, creating jobs and sustaining communities.”
Renfrewshire Council leader Iain Nicolson added: “Living and working in Renfrewshire for many years and where my home and my family are, I know first-hand that Paisley and Renfrewshire has so much to offer, from our rich heritage and wide variety of visitor attractions, to the warm friendly welcome you’ll get from communities in our towns and villages.
“We want to make our place somewhere where everyone feels at home.”
