Glasgow 1877 |
«I remember it as if it was yesterday |
My papa took me to see the ancestral home of our clan |
The desolate castle on Dismal Downs, abandoned since the 17th century |
Now inhabited by no-one but golden eagles in its turrets and |
Ptarmigan & grouse in the heather o' the clan cemetery |
In this sight of former glory, of ochre grass and bracken |
Sadness and hope, this is where I begin my story |
Rannoch moor, 1877, the eve of my 10th birthday…» |
Tha 'n sgeul ag aiseig bu bràth / |
Toirt taic bho tiotain a tha gar deanamh mar a tha sinn |
Howls on the moors |
Dreams of sailing all seas |
Call of the hills |
And a fiddle of farewell |
