Where alt thou John of Scotland?

Where alt thou John of Scotland?

I heard in haggis he drowned

His kilt was found in Casablanca I'm told

The Maltese Falcon... never found.

But on the trails of haggis

Eating his curds and whey

There sits John of Scotland

The Brave, on a holiday.

Hurry home Laddie!

Or we'll steal the S from Scotland

To be renamed at the top "Cotland"

A rightful name! a welcome home!

From where you were born

        "Cotland"

A wee little nursery, down the road, turn left, down to the sea and twenty points if you run over a highlander and watch out for them cockles!!

Their napping!!
