The Paisley Daily Express is a Scottish newspaper based in Paisley, covering the Renfrewshire area. The paper, which is currently owned by Trinity Mirror has its main offices on New Street in Paisley town centre. However, it is printed in Irvine, North Ayrshire.
The paper is sold in newsagents and general stores throughout Renfrewshire. The contents of the "Wee Express", as it is known locally (to distinguish it from the "Big Express" i.e. the Scottish Daily Express) are typical of a local newspaper: local news, human interest stories, classified advertisements, intimations, church news, crosswords, wedding photographs, school photographs, local sports (mainly about the town's football team St Mirren), letters to the editor and so on.
Locally it is noted for its mistakes and inaccuracies. The most famous of these, which made it on to the pages of Private Eye magazine, was when in 1979 it described The Lord of the Rings as "Tolkien's classic tale of a group of schoolboys marooned on a desert island".[citation needed]
