1163 CE

The abbey known as Paisley Priory, dedicated to Saints Mary, James, Mirin and Milburga, is founded in Scottish Strathclyde, seven miles (eleven kilometers) west of Glasgow on the White Cart Water, a stream, when, in 1163 Walter FitzAlan, the first High Steward of Scotland, issues a charter for a priory to be set up on land owned by him in Paisley.

Around thirteen monks come from the Cluniac priory at Much Wenlock in Shropshire to found the community.
