Gathering Of The Blogs 2004

Welcome to Tartan Day 2004

Hark, when the night is falling
Hear, hear the pipes are calling
Loudly and proudly calling
Down through the Glen

There where the hills are sleeping
Now feel the blood a-leaping
High as the spirits of the old highland men.

Calling in gallant fame
Scotland my mountain hav'n
High may your proud standards
Gloriously wave

Land o' my high endeavor
Land o' the shining river
Land o' my heart forever
Scotland the brave

High in the misty highlands
Out by the purple islands
Brave are the hearts that beat
Beneath Scottish skies

Wild are the winds to meet you
(Such) are the friends that greet you
Kind as the light that shines
From fair maiden's eyes.

Happy Tartan Day! I've got my appropriate tartan up as a wallpaper on my laptop. :)

Happy Tartan Day! Hope it's been a wonderful day for you... :)

This was a wonderful idea because it caused me to go on a google search of "all things Scottish". I read many wonderful things about Scotland, her people and history - and saw many lovely pictures of same.

Nothing like stimulating the grey matter. ;)

Thanks, Jen, Goldie :)

Pam, I'm glad I decided to go through with it. I didn't think many people would be interested, and boy I was wrong! Thanks so much for helping out with the festivities!

This was a wonderful idea - thanks so much. We had a ball with it, even with just finding out about it last night. Thanks for letting me participate :)
