About Me

Draw the Sword, Scotland...G. R. Planche
Draw the sword, Scotland, Scotland, Scotland! Over moor and mountain hath passed the war-sign; The pibroch is pealing, pealing, pealing; Who heeds not the summons is nae son o' thine. The clans they are gathering, gathering, gathering, The clans they are gathering by loch and by sea. The banners they are flying, flying, flying, The banners they are flying to lead to victory. Draw the sword, Scotland, Scotland, Scotland! Charge as you've charged in the days o' lang-syne; Sound to the onset, the onset, the onset, He who but falters is nae son o' thine.Sheathe the sword, Scotland, Scotland, Scotland! Sheathe the sword, Scotland, for dimm'd is its shine. The foemen are fleeing, fleeing, fleeing, And who kens nae mercy is nae son o' thine! The struggle is over, over, over, The struggle is over! - the victory won! There are tears for the fallen, the fallen, the fallen, And glory for all who their duty have done! Sheathe the sword, Scotland, Scotland, Scotland! With thy loved thistle new laurels entwine; Time shall ne'er part them, part them, part them, But hand down the garland to each son o' thine.

WHY DO I DANCE? I DANCE BECAUSE MY CULTURE ELATES ME, LEGENDS CAPTIVATE ME, HISTORIES MOTIVATE ME, I AM ONE WITH THE PAST WHEN I DANCE.
I DANCE BECAUSE THE BAGPIPES STIR ME, WHEEL ME, WHIRL ME, TOSS ME AND HURL ME, I DANCE TO THE DRONE OF THE PIPES.
I DANCE BECAUSE THE DRUMS COMPEL ME, RHYTHMS PROPEL ME, BEATS EXCEL ME, I DANCE TO THE THUNDER OF THE DRUMS.
I DANCE BECAUSE MY SPIRIT LIFTS ME, CARRIES ME, DRIFTS ME, INSPIRES AND GIFTS ME, MY SPIRIT SOARS WHEN I DANCE.

I'd like to meet:

Remember me - by the laughter, not the tears
Remember me - for the joy and fun we shared
through all the happy years
Please think of me, if you will, with a smile
When we all shared jokes - and laughed
At things we did a wee bit daft
If you smile - and if you laugh
sing songs, share fun and joy,
then I will join you in the toast
And think if you want to think of me
Lift up your glass so I can share
Enjoy yourselves
And I'll be there.

SIR HARRY LAUDER...HAPPY TAE MEET YOU, SORRY TAE PART. HAPPY TAE MEET YOU AGAIN...

SCOTTISH LIGHTHOUSES

CLOTA Scottish Goddess of the River Clyde.......In Celtic mythology, Clota was the patron goddess of the River Clyde. Perhaps worshiped by the local Welsh-speaking Damnonii tribe who held the territory which later was to become the Kingdom of Strathclyde. The Damnonii allied themselves with Rome who recorded and mapped the Clota estuary. During the Antonine period the Romans built the Antonine Wall from the Forth to the Clyde and created a causeway stretching across the 'Clota' which linked the forts at Bishopton, Greenock and Largs, to the Antonine Wall.CLOTA 1
