Sma' Shot Cottages

The Sma' Shot Cottages, located on Sma' Shot Lane in Paisley, provide a fascinating insight into the history of weaving in Scotland. These two restored cottages, dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, showcase the living and working conditions of Paisley’s weavers. Operated by the Old Paisley Society, the cottages are staffed by knowledgeable volunteers who bring the stories of the weavers to life. A charming tearoom offers homemade food and refreshments, completing the experience. The cottages are open seasonally, requiring advance planning for visits.
