Synopsis
An important contemporary record of this great industrial story appeared in 1907 with the publication of The Paisley Thread by Matthew Blair, a comprehensive account of the rise of the industry and the lives of those who built it. Blair’s work provides invaluable first-hand insights into the operations of the Coats and Clark families, the development of their mills, and the social and economic impact of the thread trade on Paisley. Written at the height of the industry’s influence, the book stands as both a historical document and a civic tribute — preserving for future generations the details, personalities, and achievements that defined one of Scotland’s most successful manufacturing enterprises.
