Dreary days, bright smiles

Sacred steps across the moors

Scottish homecoming

I am in Scotland visiting my family. After two years, its so good to be back!

We are on holiday on the Isle of Arran. Such an interesting and welcoming island… even in the rain.

  5. Well my heart’s in the Highlands, gentle and fair

    Honeysuckle blooming in the wildwood air

    Bluebelles blazing where the Aberdeen waters flow

    Well my heart’s in the Highlands

    I’m gonna go there when I feel good enough to go

    [ . . . ]

    Well my heart’s in the Highlands wherever I roam

    That’s where I’ll be when I get called home

    The wind, it whispers to the buckeyed trees in rhyme

    Well my heart’s in the Highlands

    I can only get there one step at a time
