    What has Paisley got going for it that would make it a City of Culture? There are enough Scotchlandish on the Forum to give insight to this topic and I for one would welcome your opinions.

    Did they invent the Paisley pattern there? I had a pair of jammies with a lovely blue floral motif once.

    I think they did indeed invent the Paisley Pattern. I still have an old silk tie in mauve Paisley design oin a silver background. It give me a certain raffish air I reckon.

    Think they also invented the Blue Tennents and Mogadon cocktail.

    The lovely Elspeth from the Flashman novels came from Paisley. How much more culture do you want?
