Some of these photos are courtesy of artist t s Beall who joined us on the raid. Tara was part of the group behind 'A stones throw away' in 2010 - this project included the Govan Beacon which sent messages via morse code and Twitter....the Beacon came back to life for the Raid yesterday and is a part of the longer-term artworks plan for the area.
