We present a temperature dependent Raman study on different kagome lattice systems. At low temperatures, volborthite shows signs of structural distortions, while in the vesignieite spectra a low energy excitation appears that could be assigned to an emergent magnetic mode. We compare our results to the kagome model system herbertsmithite and discuss the effects of antisite disorder and lattice distortions.
