Title

Paisley - Paisley Abbey Drain

Description

Only rediscovered in the 1990s, the Abbey Drain is one of Paisley's hidden gems and a site of continued archaeological interest. Inside, witches marks are inscribed on the stonework and artefacts found in the drain suggest what people are and wore. What exactly was the purpose of this passageway?
