Walking Tours on Wheels is a voluntary organisation,
Established in 1994 25 Years,
Historical Paisley, by Les Fernie and offers affordable, totally accessible guided tours of Scotland’s largest town, Paisley.
Les has suffered a number of health issues in recent years which have left him using a mobility scooter and Walking Tours on Wheels is his innovative way of allowing those with mobility issues, as well as able-bodied, to get out and about and sightseeing in Paisley. 2008 was when it changed to Walking Tours on Wheels.
We visit and explore many of Paisley’s historical places of interest – of which there are over 50 – all of which are accessible.
Walking Tours on Wheels can also offer bespoke tours for businesses, corporate events, office socials, family and friends outings and community groups and tourists.

Paisley Canal Disaster Walking Tour
A total of 85 people – many of them children aged between nine and 14 who were working in local mills – died in the Paisley Canal disaster of November 10, 1810.
The tragedy took place just one week after a horse-drawn barge service was launched between Paisley and Johnstone.
The Countess of Eglinton was thronged with holidaying mill workers who had been given a day off for the Martinmass Fair.
