Paisley's most well-known figures are set to be enshrined in a new Buddie Walk of Fame.

Local residents are being invited to nominate who they would like to see commemorated in stone on the streets of the town centre.

Anyone from the arts or worlds of media, politics and sport can be put forward, along with educators and industrialists.

To be nominated, they made a recognisable impact in their specialist category, be originally from the area or have prominent links to the town.

The trail will run throughout the Paisley First BID area and phase one will see at least six commemorative stones being laid.

The experience will be enhanced with added extras on the Paisley First app, which will also highlight the town's historic buildings.

Elaine Templeton, chair of Paisley First, said: "Anyone can be nominated for a Paisley star - it can be someone from the silver screen or someone who was instrumental in the industrial revolution in Paisley, as long as they are a Buddie or an adopted Buddie then they can be considered.

"This is a perfect way to celebrate the achievements of Buddies the world over and help inspire a younger generation to achieve their dreams."

This project is supported by Renfrewshire Council's Culture, Heritage and Events Fund (CHEF).

It is administered by One Ren on behalf of Renfrewshire Council and part of Future Paisley, the council-led programme of events, activity and targeted investment which is using the town's unique and internationally significant story to change its future.

Councillor Lisa-Marie Hughes, chair of the Future Paisley Partnership Board, said: "This is a very exciting project for Paisley and I'm delighted that the community can have their say on who should be recognised with their very own star.

"The Culture, Heritage and Events Fund is designed to support projects that, not only encourage creative participation in Renfrewshire, but also increase the number of visitors to the area and help raise the profile of Renfrewshire throughout the UK.

"I know having our very own Walk of Fame will be a great attraction for both locals and visitors alike, and I hope through recognising the achievements of Buddies past and present, we will also encourage future generations of Buddies to reach for the stars."
