Jeremy, I was born and brought up in Paisley and as a young man I taught myself the pipes by walking up and down on the flat road at the top of the Braes, not far from The Bonnie Wee Well, possible in the same spot as James McIntosh.
I don't know of Archibald McFee, but an uncle of my mother's lived in 3 Oakshaw Brae, round about 1940s, I remember visiting him. Years later, my father, brother and I had a TV aerial company and we found a large paper pattern for a weaving machine in the attic of 3 Oakshaw Brae and gave it to Paisley museum.
My father was a minor poet in Paisley and corresponded for a time with Thomas Barbour who was born in Paisley in 1895 and eventually settled in Kearney!
Both Thomas and my father are dead now, but I have a collection of poems titled Poems of a Paisley Exile by Thomas Barbour.
Lots of coincidences!
