Thread Name: Lyr Req: Hills of Ardmorn (Roy Williamson)
Subject: RE: Hills of where? (Hills of Ardmorn-Roy Williamson)
google "Ardmorn" - There's a B&B there with a website - beautiful picture and the following quote:

"Ardmorn sits on high ground at Roskhill, 3 miles south of historic Dunvegan on the romantic and beautiful Isle of Skye."

I love Janet Russell's version on her excellent album (now available on CD), "Gathering the Fragments" (the rest of that CD is great too).

The lyrics printed above (John Wood) have an important typo. Where John wrote,

"Oh that I could scent the breeze again In the fields newly turned And the gulls circling all around,"

there is a missing line.

After "...fields newly turned," the missing line is, "And the storm clouds high above"

and that's followed by, "And the gulls..."

Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner.
