There are plans afoot at Paisley's iconic landmark.

Paisley Abbey staff and volunteers have been busy developing a range of new ideas as their UNESCO World Heritage bid continues.

The Paisley Daily Express reported last year that the Abbey team and the rest of the European Federation of Cluniac Sites - churches, monasteries and abbeys built in the Middle Ages - are working towards World Heritage ListThere are currently 1,199 World Heritage status properties in the world, 33 of them are in the UK, and just six of those in Scotland.

There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.“We welcome visitors from far and near, many from overseas, especially North America and Europe,” said the Abbey’s Minister, Jim Gibson.“Often it’s one of our great musical events that attracted them. Or the shop and café.

Welcoming banners outside, which showcase the intricate designs on the Abbey’s stained glass windows have been erected while new signs and displays are being introduced to the church and exhibitions will be installed. It was second only to the pope in Rome in spiritual authority, and the driving force of the most far-reaching religious reform movement of the Middle Ages.
