Residents in Kilbarchan have been celebrating the 300th anniversary of Weaver's Cottage.
The historic site, which was built in 1723, is now a museum that vividly re-creates the living and working conditions of a typical handloom weaver before the Industrial Revolution.
Tourists from far and wide have visited the Weaver's Cottage to enjoy a glimpse of what life was like all those years ago.
West Scotland MSP Paul O'Kane recently tabled a Parliamentary motion to pay tribute to the Kilbarchan institution for its historical details, as well as the fact that it remains open to this day and still produces materials.

The motion concludes with the hope that the cottage "will continue to be visited and learned about for years to come."
Mr O'Kane said: "The more you read about the past of Scotland's textile industry the more you appreciate what a great slice of history the people of Kilbarchan have on their doorstep.
"Weaver's Cottage is something that locals are quite rightfully proud of and it's a fantastic thing for visitors to see.
"Keeping places like Weaver's Cottage going is really about keeping the past alive and ensuring that a local community’s roots are never forgotten – I hope that continues."
