All the big straight ones are in Paisley
Born and bred a Sassenach though!
When my boyfriend and I were visiting Scotland a few years ago we stayed in a Bed and Breakfast place just outside of Ayr.
We all were gathered in the parlor of a very fine house where one particularly pompous Scottish overweight fellow in his mid-sixties was swirling brandy in his snifter. He had a certain air about him. We were all chatting back and forth.
When I said "was Paisley once a nice town before the airport was located there?" He replied without hesitation:
"the only thing
ever to come out of Paisley is
bile"
I've never forgotten the distain on his face as he made that pronouncement.

His family lived in Bridgend cottage.
