The Sma' Shot Cottage complex is unique in Scotland, providing visitors with the opportunity to see two distinct periods in Paisley's weaving history. From Shuttle Street you will enter the Weaver's Cottage and be transported back in time by nearly 250 years. After Experiencing life in the late 1700's you will cross a yard behind the cottage and jump forward in time by 70 years to experience life in the town during the early to mid 1800's as portrayed by a small row of three cottages comprising five dwelling houses.

“ The Sma' Shot Cottages are open to the public every Wednesday and Saturday during the months from April to September”

- You will be made most welcome when you come to visit, and Entry is Free
