People urged to dive into cultural heritage as Paisley prepares for Sma' Shot Day

Buddies are being urged to dive deeper into their cultural heritage this summer as Paisley's Sma’ Shot Cottages prepare to showcase their offering next month.

The cottages – which offer people a glimpse into the life of a 1750’s weaver – will take centre stage on Saturday, July 1, when Paisley celebrates its industrial past on Sma’ Shot Day.

Held on the first Saturday of July every year, Sma’ Shot Day marks the victory of Paisley weavers in their fight to be paid for the “Sma’ shot”, a small invisible thread sewn into the shawls.
