📍 From Outside, United Kingdom
Paisley Abbey is a striking medieval landmark with roots dating back to the 12th century, known for its stunning architecture, intricate stained-glass windows, and historical significance as the cradle of the Royal House of Stewart. Pilgrims and history buffs can explore the ornate interior, admire the famous gargoyles (one rumored to have inspired the “Alien” movie creature), and discover the abbey’s connection to Marjorie Bruce, mother of the first Stewart king. The tranquil surroundings are perfect for reflection, while the adjacent visitor centre offers a chance to learn more about Paisley’s rich heritage. Public transport links are excellent, making it a convenient stop near Glasgow.
