Meet me on the corner when the lights are coming on
And I'll be there, I promise I'll be there
Down the empty streets we'll disappear until the dawn
If you have dreams enough to share...

Buchanan Street at Gordon Street, 1966.

Despite being visible to hundreds of people daily crossing the Erskine Bridge, this prehistoric water dwelling is relatively unknown 🌊

But Erskine crannog in West Dunbartonshire has offered us many clues about how people lived on water over 2,000 years ago: www.digitscotland.com/top-five-arc...
