    Cool North Coast 500

    This is what you can expect when you make it to the Highlands. That is of course when it's not snowing or raining!

    Next time you show us a wonderful picture of the highlands we will expect your F6B to be in the back ground. Maybe after the spring snow goes away!

    My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
    My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer -
    A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
    My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.

    Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North
    The birth place of Valour, the country of Worth;
    Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
    The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.

    Farewell to the mountains high cover'd with snow;
    Farewell to the straths and green valleys below;
    Farewell to the forrests and wild-hanging woods;
    Farwell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.



    My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
    My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer
    Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
    My heart's in the Highlands, whereever I go.

    My Grandfather was from Edinburgh Scotland. He came over hear after serving in the Navy over there during world war 1. Had quite a Scottish brogue. Retire from Kellogg's after 40 years, every one called him Scotty. He always said how pretty Scotland was. I still have family over there, but have never met them. It is certainly on my bucket list to some day go over there.
