The Highlander
.
From the north the Highlander came
Riding his horse through the glen
Smiling as he rode down the trail
The heather was blooming once again
.
The beautiful Loch Lamond was near
Thistle grew in abundance here
Rivaling clans raiding their lands,
Kept the people in fear
.
Riding his gesader (enchanter)
His claymore straped to his back
His dirk tucked in his kilt with his skean dubh
Tied with a piece of leather that was black
.
Tartan of his clan he wore so proud
As he rode through the crowd
Up to the church for his blessing from the priest
For he was off to battle, him and his beast
.
His comrades at arms raised their glasses in cheer
For there Laird was finally here
Usia breathe for all around
The best scotch that could be found
.
Off to battle they would all go together
Proudly showing their clan banner
Horses sweaty and breathing hard from the run
The clans battle has finally begun
fee
Enjoyed your work!
Blessings,

A fine poem a very romantic vision of the clans. When it came to it the Lairds had little trouble replacing the Scottish peasants for sheep
