The Road to the Isles

Coshieville:
...the money moved from Ericht's loch
The Great Glen beckoned "On!"
At 'Moriston the hills grew pale
And we fought and drank through old Kintail
But the money soon was gone
Then I cursed Loch Awe side's autumn rain
And the winter whisky in Dunblane
'Til the west wind rose in the spring again
And my heart leapt at its song....
