Turning back time at Sma’ Shot Cottages

Dec 2 2008 by Kenneth Speirs, Paisley Daily Express

IT wasn’t just cakes and scones that were on the menu at Sma’ Shot Cottages recently.

In keeping with the historic Paisley weavers’ former home, present owners the Old Paisley Society put on some Victorian style in the shape of costumes from the era.

Society member Jenny Kemp donned a dress, complete with bonnet, dating from the 1850s.

The hugely popular tea room and cottages are now open every Wednesday from noon to 3pm until December 17.

And as well examples of the dress of the area, there are a number of fascinating artifacts to view at the Shuttle Street-based cottages.
