We provide numerous services to tell the story of Paisley & Renfrewshire
Local History Talks
History talks take place on a regular basis on a variety of topics. Locations of the talks can vary and will provided in the advertising for each talk. The talks last 2 hours.
We can also provide talks to local society and other service providers – though talks for service providers will attract a charge based on our hourly fee.
Heritage Walking Tours
Heritage walks normally run throughout the year, each with a different topic and location throughout Paisley and Renfrewshire. The walks usually last 2 hours and can be on a mixture of pavements and grassy areas. When a walk is unsuitable for wheelchair users it will be stated in the walk advertising. We also use headsets for those participating in the walks when requested.
Bespoke Walking Tours are also available. Please Contact us to discuss your requirements.

History Cafes are a time for interested people to come together to discuss local history. Normally there is no set topic, and we meet in a local coffee shop for around 1.5 hours.
