The Scottish Poacher

A whimsical view of a bygone time in Scotlands highlands.

Where the wild wind blows

through the snow capped peaks

where the heather

crawls across the land,

there Eagles cast an eye

as a wild cat travels the glen.

Smoke rises from a cottage fire

dinner be ready soon,

and if you listen

you might hear the Curluw

whooping his unusual tune.

Across the lochs

you row your way

a Salmon you caught

by your side,

if you dont get home soon

what will they do

with nothing to cook on the fire

have yesterdays stew

with dumplings as well

and home baked bread and jam.
