Come the winter, cold and dreary
Brings the hawk down from the high scree
To the whins where snowy hares hide
All around the Lochanside<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Come the spring the land lies weary
Till the sun shines out so cheery
Brings the bloom, for all of June\u00b9s pride
All around the Lochanside<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’d been you\u00b9d have seen the scatter
O the peezies o\u00b9er the machair
When above the tawny owl glides
All around the Lochanside
And the heron he comes a-creeping
Through the rashes so green and dreeping
To the pool where wily trout slide
All around the Lochanside<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aye if you ever have a reason
To be here in any season
Come and try the barley bree in
Round the fire on Lochanside<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summer time the fish are louping
Dippers in the burnies couping
Swallows fly from dawn til evens-tide
All around the Lochanside
By the autumn the pinks are winging
Blaeberries o\u00b9er the moors are hanging
Salmon through the surging spate fight
All around the Lochanside<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If ye\u00b9d been ye\u00b9d have seen the scatter
O the peezies o\u00b9er the machair
When above the tawny owl glides
All around the Lochanside
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aye if you ever have a reason
To be here in any season
Come and try the barley bree in
Round the fire on Lochanside
Aye if you ever have a notion
To be welcomed with devotion
Travel home o\u00b9er any ocean
To be here on Lochanside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
