Here's a song that warrants exploration:

WHERE THE SCOTS PINE GROW
Ken Campbell, Bridgegate Music
For all the good, honest, ordinary Scots folk who made our land, and similarly contributed to many other nations the world over…

Take me where the Scots Pine grow, to the land that fills my soul
Let me see the grand design, the warp and weft in the strands of time
We watched them come, we watched them go, the honest folk, the seeds they sow,
They made this precious land, kith and kin, heart and hand.

CHORUS:
So fare you well, you ran out of time,
Fare you well, you made this land of mine.

The old boys they all knew the way, they’ve seen it all, some would say
So stop and listen can’t you hear, their words of wisdom in your ear
The moths that circle round the flame, it’s just a thing you can’t explain
A head, a heart, a clear true eye, they would never pass you by

So fare you well, you ran out of time
Fare you well, you made this land of mine

Out on the strands, along the roads, their heart (unclear) it lives their spirit bold
And by the side of Scotland’s best, missed and loved their heads they rest
And did you see the grand design, what makes them stand out in time
They sang their mystic melody, and carved their Celtic tapestry

So fare you well, you ran out of time
Fare you well, you made this land of mine
So fare you well, you ran out of time
Fare you well, you made this land of mine
