At the western end of High St, worthwhile Paisley Museum is housed in an elegant Victorian Grecian edifice and has a decent collection of 19th-century Scottish art as well as a bit of everything else, from dinosaur footprints to a stuffed terrier, and plenty of information on the town's textile history and the famous Paisley pattern's origins in ancient Mesopotamia.
The museum is currently closed for refurbishment and due to reopen late 2022.
