Two Towns Down Micro-brewery and Taproom. The first in over 125 years to open in Paisley, Scotland.
Two Towns Down micro-brewery and taproom, 47 Back Sneddon Street, Paisley, PA3 2DD:
As promised from Saturday , a visit to the new "Two Towns Down" micro-brewery and taproom.
The first brewery and taproom to open in Paisley in 125years. Something for the McKelvies, the owners, to be proud of.
Sandy the son, was away by now but he is chief brewer and must have a lot of quaffabble friends.
And I have to visit even though I got my timing wrong. I thought it was open till 10pm but shuts at 9 and only opens on a Saturday.
But I was still made so welcome by Liz and Sandy McKelvie.
Another one of those invites of "If passing do pop in, take photos", and I was passing so I did take up that offer and po...

St. Conan's kirk. If you must visit one place, a little chapel, a kirk on the shores of Loch Awe, then you must stop at St. Conan's. A lovely place to stop at when on your way to Oban or heading back to Glasgow or Edinburh or Stirling. The eccliastical architecture is a gem but most of it is built as a folly, a whim in its many opposing designs...and yet it works. It is just lovely to look at a...

      Agreed, but that can be said if almost any place that has big shopping centres and their main industries shut down forcing people to move away from what was a tightly-knit community. Just look at Paisley, or Partick, Neilston and Barrhead.
