Around Paisley.
Paisley grew rich on thread-making, and the old mill buildings, the abbey and the famous pattern still define how the town sees itself. Today it is a large Renfrewshire town with a university campus, Glasgow Airport on its doorstep and housing that runs from sandstone tenements and West End villas to big post-war schemes. That spread means very different customers within a mile of each other, so a Paisley business does better naming the districts it really covers than claiming the whole of Renfrewshire.
Closest to Paisley within Renfrewshire: Renfrew (3 miles), Johnstone (3 miles) and Erskine (5 miles). Just over the council boundary, Barrhead (3 miles), Clydebank (4 miles), Newton Mearns (6 miles) and Bearsden (6 miles) are close by. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
