The walk brought together legal professionals, retired practitioners, law students, local dignitaries, and members of the Paisley community for a walking tour. 

The evening began with a welcome from Sheriff Mohan at Paisley Sheriff Court and concluded with hospitality at The Old Swan, hosted by Jacqueline McCaig. The walk raised £420, exceeding its initial target of £300.

Sheriff Mohan said: “I was delighted to support the inaugural Paisley Legal Walk this year. The event was well organised and attracted a healthy number of participants (and a dog). Professional tour guides took us on a route around the town centre and concentrated on some of its many listed buildings to illustrate Paisley’s rich industrial and legal heritage. 

“The world-famous ‘snail in a bottle’ case (Donoghue v Stevenson) started in a Paisley café; the site of that, and the different memorials to the litigation were explained by the entertaining guides. The whole event was a great success.”
