Glenlogie
A simple brief
thought on Scottish
Independance.

Were the outdated
union not of some very
high value to England and
the English, why would
they fight so to try to
keep it?

There are only so many
slices to a pie, for one to
have more, another must
have less.

Lastly - to those Scottish
"Loyalists" - to whom are
you loyal?
Scots royalty died in the
1700's so it can be no
Scots crown - And
certainly not it appears to
those who came before,
that bled for Scotland
and her freedom !  
In the words
of Burns, as he
wrote from the heart.

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victorie.

Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour;
See approach proud Edward's power,
Chains and slaverie.

Wha would be a traitor-knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a Slave?
Let him turn and flie:

Wha for Scotland's king and law,
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Free-man stand, or free-man fa',
Let him follow me.

By Oppression's woes and pains!
By your Sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!

Lay the proud Usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!
Let us Do - or Die!!
!

Choose your destiny.
There were four and twenty nobles rade through
Banchory Fair
And bonnie Glenlogie was the floo'er o' them there

There were four and twenty maidens dined in the
Queen's ha'
Bonnie Jeannie o' Bethelnie was the floo'er o' them a'

Bonnie Jeannie at a window sae fine and sae fair
She has fancied Glenlogie abune a' that were there

She spier't at his footman wha rade by his side
For his name and his surname an' whaur he did bide

He bides at Glenlogie when he is ta hame
He is of the fine Gordons, and George is his name

She wrote him a letter for tae tell him her mind
Oh my love is laid upon you, now will you prove in kind

He turned him aroond lichtly as dae Gordons a'
Oh I'm sorry my young lady but I'm promised awa'

Glenlogie, Glenlogie, Glenlogie, cried she
If I getna Glenlogie I surely shall dee

Oh haud yer tongue, dochter, an' greet nae sae sair
An' I'll get ye Glenfindlay, his faither's ain heir

Haud yer tongue, faither, and say nae tae me
If I getna Glenlogie I ken I shall dee

Now her faither's ain minister was a man o' great skill
An' he's written tae Glenlogie, the cause o' her ill

Pale and wan was she when Glenlogie cam in
Ah but red and rosy grew she when Glenlogie won ben

And up spake her faither wi' a tear in his e'e
Ah ye're welcome Glenlogie, ye're welcome tae me

For it's turn ye Bonnie Jeannie, turn ye tae your side
For I will be your bridegroom gin you'll be my bride
