Paisley
Paisley (Scots Gaelic: Pàislig) is a toun an ae-time burgh situatit in the wast central lawlands o Scotland, aboot seiven mile wast-sooth-wast o Glesgae. It is the maist muckle toun an admeenistrative centre o the Renfrewshire cooncil area. Paisley straidles the White Cart Watter that jines the Black Cart Watter becomin the River Cart north o the toun. The toun kivers the lawland tae the north o the Gleniffer Braes.
Paisley wis ance thocht tae hae been the steid o the Roman fortification o Vanduara (or Vandogara) chronicelt bi Ptolemy. The identifeecation o the steid o modren Paisley wi this fort is maistlie foondit on the sibness o the toon's nemm tae the Brythonic Gwen-dwr ('white watter') that wis thocht tae hae been the nemm o the White Cart Watter at thon time.
In the 12t century a priory wis foondit at Paisley an a veelage suin grew aroond it. A hunner yeir aifter its foondation, the priory got the status o a Abbey. The toun became weel-kent in the 18t and 19t centuries for the production o claith, oweraw cotton wi the kenspeckle Paisley Pattern.
<!--Needs pittin ower intae Scots
Paisley is the seicont largest toun in Scotland, after East Kilbride with a population o 72,970. Whilst smaller than Scotland's major cities, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Dundee, it forms the sixth-largest settlement in the country, haein a greater population than Inverness or Stirling, which both have city status. Paisley forms much o the south-wastern part o the Greater Glasgow conurbation.
Etymology
Formerly known as Paislay the burgh's name is o uncertain origin; some sources suggest a derivation either from the Brythonic word, pasgill, 'pasture', or more likely, passeleg - 'basilica', (i.e. major kirk), itself derived from the Greek basilika. However, some Scottish place-name books suggest "Pæssa's wood/clearing", from the Old English personal name Pæssa and leāh - "clearing, wood". Pasilege (1182) and Paslie (1214) are recorded previous spellings o the name.
History
Paisley has monastic origins. A chapel is said to have been established by the 6th/7th century Irish monk, Saint Mirin at a site near a waterfall on the White Cart Water known as the Hammils. Though Paisley lacks contemporary documentation it may have been, along with Glasgow and Govan, a major religious centre o the Kingdom o Strathclyde. A priory was established in 1163 from the Cluniac priory at Wenlock in Shropshire, England at the behest o Walter Fitzalan (d. 1177) High Steward o Scotland. In 1245 this was raised to the status o an Abbey. The restored Abbey and adjacent 'Place' (palace), constructed out o part o the medieval claustral buildings, survive as a [[kirk o Scotland]] parish kirk. One o Scotland's major religious houses, Paisley Abbey was much favoured by the Bruce and Stewart royal families. It is generally accepted that William Wallace the great hero o Scottish independence who inspired the film Braveheart was educated here. King Robert III (1390-1406) was buried in the Abbey. His tomb has not survived, but that o Princess Marjorie Bruce (1296-1316), ancestress o the Stewarts is one o Scotland's few royal monuments to survive the Reformation.
Paisley coalesced under James II's wish that the lands should become a single regality and, as a result, markets, trading and commerce began to flourish. In 1488 the toun's status was raised by James IV to Burgh o barony.
Many trades sprang up and the first school was established in 1577 by the toun Council. By the mid-nineteenth century weaving had become the toun's principal industry. Paisley is still very well-known for the Paisley Shawl and its distinctive Paisley Pattern which originated around this time.
Through its weaving fraternity, Paisley gained notoriety as being a literate and somewhat radical toun, although it could be argued in a fiercely positive direction. By this time there was a real mixture o religious opinions and healthy drink-fuelled debate raged at night amongst the weavers, poets, merchants, masons and others. The poet Robert Tannahill lived in this setting, working as a weaver. The weavers o Paisley were also active in the Radical War o 1820.
Industry
Paisley was at one time famous for its weaving industry. For nearly a hundred years until the 1870s shawls o the Paisley pattern were in fashion. Until the Jacquard loom was introduced in the 1820s weaving was a cottage industry. This innovation led to the industrialisation o the process. As a result many weavers lost their livelihoods and left for Canadae and Australie. One o these, a man named John Hart and a Paisley mill owner, settled at Perth, Ontario, where he had a Book Store and Mercantile troke.
Due to its ure, mild climate Paisley was for many years a centre for the manufacture o cotton sewing thread. At the heyday o Paisley thread manufacture in the 1930s there were 28,000 fowk employed in the huge Anchor and Ferguslie mills o J & P Coats Ltd (Coats Viyella) said to be the largest o their kind in the world at that time. In the 1950s the mills diversified into the production o synthetic threads but with cheap foreign imports and the establishment by Coats o mills in Indie and Brazeel the writing was on the wall for Paisley and production began to diminish rapidly. By the end o the 1980s there was no thread being produced in Paisley. However, both industries have left a permanent mark on the toun in the form o the many places with textile related names, for example, Dyer's Wynd, Cotton Street, Thread Street, Shuttle Street, Lawn Street, Silk Street, Mill Street and Incle Street.
The toun also supported a number o engineering works some o which relied on the textile industry, others on shipbuilding. With the demise o both these industries in the wast o Scotland the engineering works too have all but gone.
In the mid 1970s industry in Paisley went into rapid decline. The preserve manufacturer Robertsons which was founded in Paisley in the 1860s closed its Stevenson Street factory and transferred production to Bristol, Manchester and London. This closure was followed by those o the engineering firms o Fullerton, Hodgart and Barclay and Whites Engineering.
In 1981 the area was dealt a massive blow when Peugeot Talbot, formerly Chrysler and before that Rootes, announced that their Linwood factory just outside o Paisley would cease production. Almost 5000 workers were laid of. The knock on effect on other trokees in the area was immeasurable and, despite numerous regeneration projects, Linwood has never recovered.
Other trokees to have closed since the 1990s are the Scottish Gas distribution and service centre, Cadbury's distribution centre and William Grant & Sons the Scotch whisky producer.
Some o the remaining employers in the toun are Scotch whisky blenders and bottlers Chivas Brothers now a subsidiary o Pernod Ricard and the pigment manufacturers o the Swiss company Ciba Geigy. Both companies employ considerably fewer fowk than in the past.
Glasgow International Airport which is situated to the north o Paisley is a major centre o employment. Many Paisley fowk travel outside o the toun to work, most notably to Glasgow city centre. Paisley's good transport links enable many residents to work throuout the Clyde Valley region.
Architecture
In the 1960s the toun centre underwent considerable redevelopment resulting in the demolition o the County Buildings in County Square and the adjacent police station and toun gaol. These fine Victorian edifices were replaced by the brutalist concrete Gilmour House and the Piazza trokeping centre which spans the White Cart Water.
Paisley Abbey
The wast o Paisley Abbey provides an example o original Gothic architecture dating to the 12th century. The east end and tower date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries and are examples o Gothic Revival architecture.
Other notable buildings
Paisley toun Hall (the George A. Clark toun Hall) was funded by Clarks, the owners o the Anchor thread mill. In response, their main competitor in the production o thread in the toun, Sir Peter Coats, funded the building o the equally magnificent Paisley Museum and Library in 1871. These, and many other remarkably grand buildings in Paisley, testify to the power, influence and success o the textile industry in the toun.
The Thomas Coats Memorial kirk is an example o Gothic Revival architecture. It dominates the toun's skyline with its crown spire more than 60 metres high. Opened in 1894 and designed by Hippolyte Jean Blanc it is the largest Baptist kirk in Europe. The exterior is made o old red sandstone. Inside, the kirk is decorated with wood carvings, mosaic floors and marble fonts. The kirk also contains a 3040 pipe Hill Organ.
St Matthew's kirk ([[kirk o the Nazarene]]) at the junction o Gordon Street and Johnston Street is Art Nouveau in style. Designed by local architect William Daniel McLennan, a contemporary o Charles Rennie Mackintosh, it was built in 1906.
The Russell Institute was built in 1926.
The "A" listed Anchor Mill (built 1886) was converted, in 2005, into modern apartments. The building is an example o successful redevelopment o old industrial areas.
Paisley Civic Centre designed by Sir Basil Spence and Partners was built in the 1960s to house the Renfrewshire county ofices. It was intended to become the civic hub for Paisley but the absence o any trokes and non-council premises prevented this from happening. It became the home o the Renfrew sub-region o Strathclyde Regional Council in 1975 and o Renfrewshire Council in 1996. It is listed by the conservation organisation DoCoMoMo as one o the sixty key Scottish monuments o the post-war period.
Education
In 1992, Paisley College o Technology, founded in 1896 as Paisley Central Institution, became the Varsity o Paisley which merged with Bell College in Hamilton on the 1st o August, 2007. The merged institution was then renamed as the Varsity o the Wast o Scotland on the 30th o November 2007. The toun also contains red Kerr College which provides Further Education. There are four seicontary Schools in Paisley: Paisley Grammar School, Castlehead High School, St. Andrew's Academy and Gleniffer High School. The oldest o these is Paisley Grammar which was founded in 1586.
Until the late 1990s there were five more seicontary schools, now no longer in existence haein been the casualties o the reduction in pupil numbers - Merksworth High School (to the north wast o the toun), John Neilson High School and St Mirin's High School (on the wast side o the toun), St Aelred's High School and Stanely Green High School (both on the south side o the toun).
Media
Viewers in Paisley can receive all the UK terrestrial channels and radio listeners can receive all the major UK stations plus a number o local services. The local daily newspaper is the Paisley Daily Express whose ofices are located on New Street in the toun centre o Paisley. The locally based radio station Q96, has gone of air and has been replaced with 96.3 Rock Radio. Despite being based in Baillieston, Glasgow the terms o the licence state that it must carry Renfrewshire based material.
trokeping
The Piazza trokeping Centre, based in the heart o Paisley, has forged many links within the community and is the toun's busiest centre. Featuring household names such as Somerfield, New Look, D2 and The Carphone Warehouse, The Piazza is also home to one o the Top 50 Post ofice branches in the UK - one o two Scottish flagship stores, it was made a Crown Post ofice in 2007. The Piazza has also recently launched a Student Card, providing a range o discounts for the thousands o students that pass throu Paisley every year.
The Paisley Centre is a three floored centre including a department store, an indoor market and over 50 trokeping units including Marks and Spencer, Boots, Superdrug, Vodafone, Thorntons, The Body troke and T-Mobile as well as many local outlets.
In recent years, however, the quality and variety o trokeping has declined, with many o Paisley's more affluent customers choosing to troke at the (1998) Braehead trokeping Centre which lies within Renfrewshire's boundaries. Through this competition and high tax rates for local trokees, many stores have been forced to close their doors.
Despite a poor perception, however, many retailers are still thriving in Paisley's trokeping centres, and adding colour to the toun is the variety o busy Continental and Farmers Markets which oten take place in the toun.
Sport
St Mirren F.C., the local Paisley Scottish Premier League football team, have been given planning permission to move to a new 8,000 seat stadium from their home on the toun's Love Street, to one located on Greenhill Road to help regenerate the deprived Ferguslie Park area. Their last major success was on 16 May 1987 when St Mirren won the Scottish Cup, with thousands crowding the streets to see the team.
In (2006), the team won the Scottish Football League First Division and has returned to the Scottish Premier League. They have a very active youth development system and are part o the social fabric o the toun. This was demonstrated when at a Renfrewshire Council planning committee board meeting on the new stadium and supermarket to replace Love Street came to be heard. With the initial recommendation that St. Mirren be denied permission for the supermarket but allowed the stadium, something that threatened the future o the club due to the supermarket being only solution to clear its debts, some 300 buddies stood outside the final meeting o Renfrewshire Council in Cotton Street on a dry Tuesday Morning in support. The club was granted permission at this meeting with a majority vote o 9-5 in favour. Abercorn F.C. were Paisley's other proessional team, but fell into decline and subsequent liquidation in 1920.
Paisley also has two cricket grounds by the name o Kelburne Cricket Club and Ferguslie Cricket Club. Both cricketers Majid Haq and Omer Hussain, Scottish internationalist cricketers have played for both Kelburne and currently play for Ferguslie Cricket Club. In addition, Paisley is home to two rugby clubs. Paisley RFC who play Union and Paisley Hurricanes who play League. Both are currently based at the Anchor Recreational Grounds and run several teams and youth and senior level while also providing coaches to local schools.
Paisley is also home to the Kelburne Hockey Club who have dominated domestic hockey in the last 3 seasons. Kelburne HC run 5 gents teams, 3 ladies teams and have over 100 juniors regularly competing for the club at District and National level. Kelburne HC has also supplies the Scottish National Team the vast majoirty o the Gents team. The club has also had success in Europe with recent tournament victories in Austria and Switzerland.
Motorcycle speedway was staged at St Mirren Park in 1975 and 1976 when the Paisley Lions raced in the seicont division o the British Leagues. The Lions were moderately successful but despite the best efforts o their supporters, the venue was lost to speedway.

Yemen Arab Republic
The Yemen Arab Republic (YAR), (in Arabic: الجمهوريّة العربية اليمنية [al-Jamhūrīyah al-`Arabīyah al-Yamanīyah]) forby kent as North Yemen or Yemen (Sana'a), wis a kintra frae 1962 tae 1990 in the northren pairt o wha is nou Yemen. Its caipital wis at Sana'a.
History
Follaein the collapse o the Ottoman Empire, northren Yemen became an independent state as the Mutawakkilite Kinrick o Yemen. On 27 September 1962, revolutionaries inspired bi the Arab naitionalist ideology o United Arab Republic (Egyptian) Preses Gamal Abdul Nasser deposed the newly-crouned Keeng Muhammad al-Badr, teuk control o Sana'a, an establisht the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR). This coup d'état markt the beginnin o the North Yemen Civil War that pittit YAR troops assistit bi the Unitit Arab Republic (Egyp) while Saudi Arabie an Jordan supportit Badr's ryalist forces opposin the newly formed republic. Conflict continued periodically till 1967 when Egyptian troops wur wi'drawn. Bi 1968, follaein a final ryalist siege o Sana'a, maist o the opposin leaders reached a reconciliation; Saudi Arabie recognised the Republic in 1970.
Unlik East an Wast Germany or North an Sooth Korea, the YAR an its soothren neighbour, the Fowkdemocratic Republic o Yemen (PDRY) (kent as Sooth Yemen an aa) remained relatively friendly, tho relations wur aften strained. In 1972 it wis declared unification wad eventually occur. Housomeivver, thir plans wur put on hauld in 1979, an war wis anerlie preventit bi an Arab League intervention. The goal o unity wis reaffirmed bi the northren an soothren heids o state durin a summit meetin in Kuwait in Mairch 1979. Wha the PDRY govrenment failed tae tell the YAR govrenment wis that it wished tae be the dominant pouer in ony unification, an left wing rebels in North Yemen began tae receive extensive fundin an airms frae Sooth Yemen.
Reunification
In Mey 1988, the YAR an PDRY governments came tae an unnerstandin that considerably reduced tensions includin agreement tae renew discussions concernin unification, tae establish a jynt ile exploration aurie alang thair undefined border, tae demilitarize the border, an tae allae Yemenis unrestrictit mairch passage on the basis o anerlie a naitional identification card.
Sooth Yemen
The Fowkdemocratic Republic o Yemen — referred tae as Democratic Yemen, Sooth Yemen, Sooth Arabie, or Yemen (Aden) an aw — wis a socialist republic in the present-day soothren an eastren Provinces o Yemen. It unitit wi the Yemen Arab Republic, commonly kent as North Yemen, on Mey 22, 1990 tae form the current Republic o Yemen.
Unification
Unlik East Germany an Wast Germany or North Korea an Sooth Korea, the northren Yemen Arab Republic (YAR) an the PDRY remained relatively friendly, tho relations wur aften strained. In 1972 it wis declared unification wad eventually occur.
Housomeivver, thir plans wur put on hauld in 1979, an war wis ae preventit bi an Arab League intervention. The goal o unity wis reaffirmed bi the northren an soothren heids o state durin a summit meetin in Kuwait in Mairch 1979.
In 1980, PDRY preses Abdul Fattah Ismail resigned an went intae exile. His successor, Ali Nasir Muhammad, teuk a less interventionist stance toward baith North Yemen an neighbourin Oman. On Januar 13, 1986, a violent struggle began in Aden atween Ali Nasir's supporters an supporters o the returned Ismail, who wantit pouer back. Fechtin lastit for mair nor a month an resultit in thoosans o casualties, Ali Nasir's ouster, an Ismail's daith. Some 60,000 fowk, includin the deposed Ali Nasir, fled tae the YAR. Ali Salim al-Beidh, an ally o Ismail who haed succeedit in escapin the attack on pro-Ismail members o the Politburo, then became General Secretary o the Yemeni Socialist Pairty.
In Mey 1988, the YAR an PDRY governments came tae an unnerstandin that considerably reduced tensions includin agreement tae renew discussions concernin unification, tae establish a joint ile exploration aurie alang thair undefined border, tae demilitarize the border, an tae allae Yemenis unrestrictit border passage on the basis o anerlie a naitional identification card.
Economy
Thare wis little industrial ootput, or mineral wealth exploitation, in Sooth Yemen, till the mid-1980s, follaein the discovery o significant petroleum reserves in the central regions near Shibam an Mukalla. The main soorces o income wur agricultur, maistly fruit, cereal crops, cattle an sheep, fishin an later, ile exports.
The naitional budget wis 13.43 million dinars in 1976, an the gross naitional product wis USD $150 million. The tot naitional debt wis $52.4 million.
Banner o Germany
The banner o Germany is a tricolour consistin o three equal horizontal baunds displayin the naitional colours o Germany: black, reid, an gowd.
The black-red-gowd tricolour first appeared in the early 19t century an achieved prominence during the 1848 Revolutions. The short-lived Frankfurt Parliament o 1848–1850 proposed the tricolour as a banner for a unitit an democratic German state. Wi the formation o the Weimar Republic efter Warld War I, the tricolour wis adoptit as the naitional banner o Germany. Follaein Warld War II, the tricolour wis designatit as the banner o baith Wast an East Germany. The twa banners wur identical till 1959, whan the East German banner wis augmentit wi the coat o airms o East Germany. Synee reunification on 3 October 1990, the black-red-gowd tricolour haes remained the banner o Germany.
The banner o Germany haes no aaways uised black, red, an gowd as its colours. Efter the Austro-Proushyan War in 1866, the Proushyan-dominatit North German Confederation adoptit a tricolour o black-white-red as its banner. This banner later became the banner o the German Empire, formed follaein the unification o Germany in 1871, an wis uised till 1918. Black, white, an reid wur reintroduced as the German naitional colours wi the establishment o Nazi Germany in 1933.
Oreegins
The oreegins o the colours black-red-gowd lie in the freedom wars o 1813 against Napoleon. The uniforms o the Luetzowschen Freikorps (Lützow Free Corps) reflectit thir colours. The Korps consistit o students, which wur risin against the occupation o Germany bi the French. Thay wur a voluntary unit in the airmy an came frae aw ower Germany. Thair commander wis Major Adolf von Luetzow. Syne thay war frae different pairts o Germany an war aw wearing different coloured claes, the anly possibility for them, in order tae hae a uniform appearance, wis tae colour thair claes black. Additionally thay war wearing golden coloured (brass) buttons as well as reid trimmings.
The German relation tae black an gowd surfaced in the radical 1840's, whan the black-red-gowd banner wis uised tae seembolise the movement against the Conservative European Order that wis established efter Napoleon's defeat.
The Frankfurt Parliament haed declared the black-red-gowd as the offeecial colours o the German Confederation, wi the reid in the tricolour maist likely referencin the Hanseatic League, an the gowd an black seembolisin Austrick as its empire considered tae be "German", haed an influence ower (what wad acome) soothren Germany. Thare are mony theories in circulation regardin the oreegins o the colour scheme utilized in the 1848 banner. It haes been proposed that the colours wur those o the Jena Student's League, ane o the radically mindit Burschenschaften banned bi Metternich in the Carlsbad Decrees. Anither claim goes back tae the uniforms (mainly black wi reid facins an gowd buttons) o the Lützow Free Corps, comprisin maistly varsity students an formed durin the struggle against the occupyin forces o Napoleon. It is durin the mid-nineteent century that reid became seenonymous wi revolution an Karl Marx's socialist vision. Whaiver the true explanation, thir colours suin came tae be regardit as the naitional colours o Germany durin this brief period, an especially efter thair reintroduction durin the Weimar period, thay hae acome seenonymous wi leeberalism in general.
