Paisley Tours Shortlisted for ROCCO Award for Excellence in Tourism 2025

We’re delighted to share that Paisley Tours has been shortlisted for the ROCCO Award for Excellence in Tourism 2025, hosted by the Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce. The nomination recognises our work in showcasing the stories, people, and heritage that make Paisley a destination with heart.

Since launching as a social enterprise under Paisley Community Partnership Ltd, Paisley Tours has welcomed over 1,000 visitors, earned the Viator/TripAdvisor Badge of Excellence, and built partnerships that stretch from Houston Kiltmakers and Brown’s Lane Market to international links with the Salem Witch Museum in Massachusetts.

Our team continues to work with organisations like the William Wallace Society and the Inverclyde Chamber of Commerce, building tourism partnerships that connect cruise-liner visitors arriving in Greenock directly to the town of Paisley.

This nomination celebrates not just our tours — but the people and businesses who make them possible.

“We’re incredibly proud to represent Paisley at this level. Our goal has always been to bring new life into the town through storytelling and community-led tourism, and this nomination shows how far we’ve come together.”

The winners will be announced at the ROCCO Awards Dinner on Friday 21st November 2025 at Ingliston Estate & Country Club.

Whatever happens on the night, we’re already proud to see Paisley Tours stand shoulder-to-shoulder with some of Scotland’s leading organisations — proving that local stories can create global connections.
