Over the last weekend of April and into May 2011, I was in Paisley for the UK Convention of The Sons of the Desert Society.(I'm a member of 'Their Purple Moment' Tent).

Besides all the fun associated with Stan and Ollie, part of the weekend programme was a walking tour of Paisley and the Abbey.
(Guess who won the top raffle prize of a bottle of Ardbeg ?)
The weather was absolutely brilliant and I took many pictures.
I thought I'd share them with my readers.
