MJC LAW is organising the event on 23 September in partnership with the Faculty of Procurators in Paisley. The walk is part of a UK-wide initiative led by The Access to Justice Foundation to raise funds for charities that support people facing legal problems and barriers to justice.

Chair of The Access to Justice Foundation Scotland Committee, Graeme McWilliams, said: “I am delighted to welcome the inaugural Paisley Legal Walk and thrilled that we have six super Scottish Legal Walks taking place this autumn. Coming from the Renfrewshire area, I’m really looking forward to returning to Paisley next month to join this most welcome walk, which promotes access to justice and raises funds for local legal advice charities.”

The guided route will include the Donoghue v Stevenson memorial, commemorating the famous case that originated in Paisley. The walk will be led by Hugh Gorman and Graeme McCormick of Paisley Tours.

Mr Gorman said: “Walkers will be treated to the story of Paisley’s ‘Loom, Broom and Tomb’ – from the looms that clothed the world, to the witch trials that scarred the town’s past, and the lives and legacies of the people who shaped Paisley’s history.”

Matthew Coffield, solicitor and owner of MJC LAW, said: “We are committed to making this a positive and successful event and to establishing it as an annual tradition that Paisley can be proud of. The way our local community and partners have come together in support of this event shows the best of Paisley’s spirit.”
