Sure, there are plenty of fantastic creatures carved as gargoyles projecting from the walls of various religious monuments throughout the world, but this is the first time I’ve seen a Xenomorph guarding the walls of an Abbey.

Paisley Abbey was originally founded in 1245, and rebuilt in the early 1300s, and the recent “discovery” of an Alien-like gargoyle has inspired considerable media speculation about the sculptor’s extraterrestrial influences.

However, following pictures of the Alien-gargoyle appearing on-line and in news reports, it has been revealed that the Abbey had some renovations in the 1990s, which included many of the original gargoyles being replaced.
