The Reverend James gets graduation accolade in UWS' winter roll call
Paisley Daily Express
|November 25, 2025
An inspiring parish minister has been recognised as part of University of the West of Scotland's (UWS) winter graduations.
Reverend James Gibson, Interim Moderator and Minister for Paisley Abbey, was celebrated during a ceremony at the church for his support of the local community and commitment to ensuring a sustainable future for the Abbey and other notable churches.
Jim served as Minister of Bothwell Parish Church for 30 years and retired from parish ministry in 2019 after 42 years' service for the Church of Scotland.
He later returned to service after accepting an appointment at Paisley Abbey, having been a probation assistant there in 1977.
Under his leadership, Jim helped the Abbey - which was founded in the 12th century - to recover from closure during the Covid-19 pandemic and is now leading the Abbey's bid for UNESCO World Heritage status.
Jim was a key player in the development of the King's Apartment within the ancient place of Paisley, which is part of the Abbey buildings.
