Glenurquhart Time Team Songs

Local song inspired by the life lived in the glen THE OLD MANS SONG

O farewell to the hills where once happy in youth I wandered at leisure no care in this earth When fleet then of foot over hills and ore burn With rod or with rifle as fancy would turn No more will I climb to suidh goraman west
The March or Creich the lochs I love best No more with quick fingers the line will I ply Now all that I look ats the hills and the sky
As I sit on my seat by the side of the door I fancy im seeing the deer of Cairn more The stag as he drives his heard down below With October winds to carry the first flacks of snow
But now my breath is growing short like my step Only memory stays of the sports I love best So if you must wander and if you must roam You will find heaven in these hills we call home
