Dooslan Stane

I'm standing on a very important stone.  It might not look like much, but this is the Doosland Stane in Paisley, which was the focal point for weavers meetings.  The speaker would have stood on this to galvanise the crowd into action.  From here locals have protested for some very significant things - parliamentary reform in 1819, the Radical War of 1820, the vote for working men in the 1840s and the Sma' Shot in 1856.
  
I decided to follow suit and get up there and demand fish fingers for my dinner.

"If there is no struggle there is no progress.  Power concedes nothing without a demand.  It never did and it never will."
