Loch means lakes and Scotland is full of lakes, here and there... and we spent a few hours driving round the Loch Lomond and its beautiful surrounding.... and the song goes back to the old Convent days...
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
Where me and my true love spent many happy days
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
T'was there that we parted in yon shady glen
On the steep sides of Ben Lomond
Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view
And the moon glints out in the gloaming
[Chorus]
You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
Where me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
Shorter days now and by 4pm, it grows dark each day.
Lots of beautiful memories....
On a short day...
It is gorgeous! And now I'm wondering what that person is doing up in the tree? I know this song!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place! Oh? So you were in a convent school, eh? You would have learnt to sing this song too then - I was in a mission school, La Salle. Were you singing away all the time you were there? LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and scenic view of the lake. A convent school song? Interesting. Never know such song.
