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Were the outdated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, I am a railway porter and my name is Willie Lee,
You can search around the country frae Dumbarton tae
Dundee,
I'm the most important person that you're ever like tae
see
And my duty is tae tell ye whaur ye chinge fur..
Ye change fur....

Chorus:

Auchterclochter, cuddlemadochter, Crieff or Callercoats,
Land's End tae John o' Groats, Beecham's Pills or
Quaker Oats.
Ye chinge fur Ecclefechan, Aiberdeen an' a' the stations
in between
Unless ye want tae gang tae Tobermory.

Oh, at Auchterclochter junction if you're ever like tae be,
Just pop your head frae the windae and you're sure tae
notice me,
I'm the most important person that you're ever like tae
see
And my duty is tae tell ye whaur ye chinge fur ...
Ye change fur....

Chorus

Ae day at Auchterclochter junction, oh I wis filled wi'
pride!
The royal train drew in and when I looked inside,
I saw Her Majesty, Lizzie, the Queen and the Duke wis
by her side
And they asked me a' the stations that ye chinge fur . . .
Ah telt them...

Auchterclochter, cuddlemadochter, Crieff or Callercoats
Land's End tae John o' Groats, Beecham's Pills or
Quaker Oats
Ye chinge fur Clachnacudden, Sands o'Budden and then
ye buy a big mealy pudden
Tae eat until ye gang tae Tobermory,
Tae eat until ye gang tae Tobermory
