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Were the outdated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.

Oh, the summer time has come,
And the trees are sweetly blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows among the blooming heather.

Will you go, lassie, will you go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All among the blooming heather,

Will you go, lassie, go?
I will build my love a bower
By yon clear and crystal fountain,
And all among the bower,
I'll pile flowers from the mountain.

I will range through the hills
And the deep glens sae dreary
I'll return with love's spoils
To the bower of my dearie

If my true love, she won't come,
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All among the blooming heather.

Oh, the summertime has come
And thre trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows among the blooming heather.
