Paisley Crowned Scotland’s Town of the Year After Revamp

Paisley has been honoured as Scotland’s Town of the Year for 2025, recognised for its striking transformation and community‑led regeneration.

The accolade comes after over £100 million of investment in its cultural, civic and housing infrastructure, including a redeveloped town hall, a new library‑hub, and a state‑of‑the‑art school campus.

Judges praised the town’s reinvention and its welcome for new businesses, residents and visitors. Local leaders and long‑standing businesses say the award signals fresh confidence for Paisley.
