Renfrewshire’s provost has paid tribute to a “lovely and kind” former minister of Paisley Abbey following his death at the age of 69.
A minute’s silence was held in the chambers on Thursday as councillors remembered Reverend Alan Birss, who passed away on Friday, December 9.
Rev Birss, who was minister at the church for more than 32 years, had been diagnosed with stage four oesophageal cancer in late September.
