The story

A vivid peacock in full display on a Browns Lane gable, its tail fanned into a cascade of Paisley-pattern paisleys among pink blossom. Painted in a beer garden off the lane, it's a joyful nod to the pattern that carries the town's name around the world.

You'll find it on Browns Lane in Paisley town centre — a free, self-guided walk that takes in fifty-two painted walls across the old streets.

The mural is on a public street, free to view, and visible day or night — though you'll get the best photos in daylight. Use the interactive trail map to plan your walk.
