The strong feelings of Scots worldwide who join together in their Clans and participate in Highland Games and Celtic Festivals.
|
Oh Scotland, thru you our lines run deep.
The Mother Shores we often seek.
We revere our past.
The land of Argyle, thistle bloom and
rampant Lion holding fast.
From Celts and Picts our fathers came
to stand upon your shores,
forever to roam the Bens and Moors.
Culloden rose and smote the Lion
and spread us to the winds.
We come together as before,
seeking clan from every shore.
Hold dear the Clan, keep it strong
Sing your songs oft and long
Of the land wince we came.
Its future is our past.
We pledge our love to Scotland,
till were home again, at last.

| If it weren't for the Scots that emigrated to America, there wouldn't be America as we know it! Enjoyed, Cliff... |

Speaking as a Scot (och aye!), I enjoyed this poetic tribute to the land of the bens and glens.
Just wish the clans had gotten on better with each other; a divided house cannot stand forever. |

| A nice poem, Cliff. You must be a Scotsman. They were an interesting breed in days of lore. I suppose their culture has modernized a great deal from what it once was. |
