On 25th May 1661, Paisley Council declared that folk in the town must pile their foulzie by their back door and not out their front door in middens as it is “unbecoming, uncomely, and dishonest to the toun”.
Foulzie is human excrement.
Anyone who did pile up their foulzie at the front door had 48hrs to clean it up or sell it under pain of £10. In 1670, Paisley made it illegal to sell foulzie to anyone not from Paisley. In 1690, everyone had to clean up any foulzie outside their door, if it was theirs or not.
