Chief Scout visits Peesweep Camp in 1983.

Cubs and Scouts gathered at their Peesweep Camp, now called Lapwing Lodge on the Gleniffer Braes above Paisley to meet the recently appointed Chief Scout, Major-General Michael J.H. Walsh who literally made a flying visit to the facility. It was originally a sanitorium for workers of Paisley's Coats Thread Mill to recover from infectious diseases but in 1968, Renfrewshire County Scout Council negotiated a 20 year lease from the then county council and is now wholly owned by the Scout Association and renamed Lapwing Lodge.
