Paisley in short
How the radio landscape is shaped, and what that means for a plan.
Scotland's largest town, built on thread
Paisley is Scotland's largest town, bigger than any settlement in the country bar the four biggest cities, with a population around 79,000 inside a wider Renfrewshire of nearly 178,000. It made its name in the 18th and 19th centuries as a textile town, the source of the paisley pattern itself, before a slower economy through the 20th century; today services and a labour force of 95,000 across Renfrewshire carry the local economy. The University of the West of Scotland's main campus brings close to 16,000 students into the town, a genuine youth audience layered onto an otherwise typical Scottish urban population. A campaign built only for a generic Scottish town profile misses that student weight sitting inside it.
