A few weeks back I met up with some of the sister missionaries in the stake. We met up in Dalry (a place I had never heard of) and on the way I realised that Paisley was just one stop out from Glasgow Central, about a ten minute journey. So I resolved to become better acquainted with the place that produced those lovely shawls.
The first major thing I noticed, after leaving the station and walking towards the high street, was a WW1 memorial. In my trip to the UK in 2001, I certainly saw a lot of war memorials. This one is pretty unique, and, I thought, quite striking.
