Symbols Of Scotland

By Bernie Bell

I thought I’d look through my picture folders for symbols of Scotland – getting ready for Independence!

You don’t have to be a Scot to want Scotland to have Independence.

A modest Unicorn at the entrance to a Glasgow hotel….

Highland Coo…The Western Isles….

Saltire bus stop …The Western Isles……

Saltire flagstone …Sheila Fleet’s Gallery & Cafe, Orkney……

A stone thistle atop Kirkwall Town Hall, Orkney…..

A dram…or two…or…..

Credit Bell

A real, live, big Scottish thistle….

Scotland has got a lot to offer…….

      The Bluebells of Scotland

      The Corries

      Oh where, tell me where, has your Highland laddie gone?
      Oh where, tell me where, has your Highland laddie gone?
      He’s gone wi’ streaming banners where noble deeds are
      Done
      And it’s oh, in my heart I wish him safe at home

      Oh where, tell me where, did your Highland laddie dwell?
      Oh where, tell me where, did your Highland laddie dwell?
      He dwelt in Bonnie Scotland, where blooms the sweet blue
      Bell
      And it’s oh, in my heart I lo’ed my laddie well

      Oh what, tell me what, does your Highland laddie wear?
      Oh what, tell me what, does your Highland laddie wear?
      A bonnet with a lofty plume, and on his breast a plaid
      And it’s oh, in my heart I lo’ed my Highland lad

      Oh what, tell me what, if your Highland laddie is slain?
      Oh what, tell me what, if your Highland laddie is slain?
      Oh no, true love will be his guard and bring him safe
      Again
      For it’s oh, my heart would break if my Highland lad were
      Slain
