Historic Scotland

Scottish land

Barren and cold

Soaked of blood

As those brave of clan

Took shield and sword

Defend their motherland

Ruins of castles

And homes

Testify this land

Statues of nobility

Stare down upon the grave.

Harshness of weather

Hardy are the folk

Continue of battle

As the weather

Takes it toll.

As you visit

This barren land

Remember the red soil

Underfoot

For it is

The souls

Of the brave

Ever watchful

Such is their pride

Of this blood soaked land.
