The six-storey, red-brick domestic finishing mill that sits alongside the tumbling waters of the River Cart is an enduring monument to Paisley’s rich history in the textile industry. Built in 1886 by the Clarks firm, it would stand sentry to the Anchor site that stretched back to the imposing Mile End building at the other end of Seedhill Road. Quoted from Paisley People's Archive No boy was considered a swimmer, or a true Paisley Buddie, until he could jump or dive from the Hammills. This feat of bravado was known as “Tailing the Linn”. When the young man had swum over the deep, dangerous part of the river below the waterfall, he would proudly stand in the shallows with his arms folded, as a sign that the daring deed was done. He had proved to himself and his mates, by this unholy baptism, that he was one of the boys. Quoted from PAISLEY.org.uk

In the town of Paisley the White Cart is joined by a number of tributary streams including the Lady Burn, the St Mirin Burn, the Sneddon Burn and the Espedair Burn. Just outside the burgh boundary, close to Glasgow Airport, the river meets with the Abbot's Burn. The Greenock Road (A8), between Inchinnan and Renfrew, passes over the White Cart Water by means of the Swing Bridge. The White Cart Water then joins with the Black Cart Water, just downstream of the bridge, to become the River Cart. Quoted from Wikipedia
