Bonnie Scotland

Bonnie Scotland

The landscape is breathtaking

the mountain views spectacular

the valleys and rivers

of so many different shades

of greens, browns,

 purples and golden yellows

from the grass, heather and trees

the deep blue of the rivers

and the wildlife of reindeer

and sheep, highland cattle

the grouse to name a few

as far as the eyes can see.

My homeland. Dear to me.

Visit Ben Nevis the tallest Mountain

or the capital Edinburgh or dear old

sweet Glasgow Town. 

maybe even visit the Shetland Islands

Caithness and some other Northern places

In Scotland

And get a good chance of even

seeing the Northern Lights

called the "Mirrie Dances"

Drink our Whiskey and raise a cheer

And smile and have a good time.

I haven't visited Scotland for many years Dee, but my Mum and Dad lived up there for a few years, during which time I visited several times. The scenery is breathtaking, the lochs, mountains and glens to die for. I visited in autumn so had the benefit of and glory of all the golds. I wrote a poem once about a piper piping on the banks of a loch. Still have it somewhere. You have brought all that back to me. Thank you Dee. Your poem a fine advertisement for Scotland's tourist board.

Almost married a Scotland girl. She was a beauty. I will send later. Two grand-boys demanding attention.
