My Town

From up here I can see Daddy's work, Gran's house, my flat and the mills and offices where my great-grandparents and other family members worked - it is a view out over my history!


"doon burn, strath, brae and sea
as watter tummles tae braid firth,
we are aw ettled tae stravaig

birlin tae oor ain bit sang
while land itsell maks birth, braith,
bluid, bane, daith, an ay bides oan."

(Janet Paisley - from Homeland)
