Paisley Abbey is a parish church of the Church of Scotland, located in the centre of the town of Paisley, Renfrewshire, about 12 miles (19 km) west of Glasgow. Saint Mirin founded a community here in the 7th century, and a priory was established in 1163. A succession of fires and the collapse of the tower during the 15th and 16th centuries left the building in a partially ruined state. From 1858 to 1928, the north porch and the eastern choir were reconstructed on the remains of the ruined walls.
