This is a very interesting for me as I am coming to Scotland in August for a West High Land Way and Great Glen Way hike. I am staying couple days in Glasgow first and my plan is to visit Paisley to see the abbey there. I've heard the William Wallace connection but I never knew there are so much the else to see inside the abbey. I thought most of it is in it's ruins really. Now Iam even more exicited to visit Paisley and see all myself and maybe I meet the ghost too in there who knows. Thank you for the video.
@ There is a superb musical tradition associated with Paisley Abbey and it’s choir, also it has one of the most remarkable and spectacular organs in the UK, or even the world, with sounds that are perfect for repertoire of the 20th century and the period of J S Bach.
Intriguing & useful video. Can you explain those huge ugly corbels at the base of the triforium? I suspect for statues. BTW the building has no entry on the Historic Scotland site - a site poorly managed and organised - 'organised' seems too good a word for it. Why didn't the Scots simply allow NHLE (National Heritage List for England) to run it? They have a superb map-search facility with links to full descriptions, illus & comments. Is this by any chance another benefit of the fishy SNP so-called 'government'?!

Thank you for watching and have a brilliant trip.Safe travels.
The organist, George McPhee, is a legend and inspiration to all who come in contact with him.
