THE STORY OF THE HIGHLAND REGIMENTS
BY FREDERICK WATSON
East and South my children scatter,
North and West the world they wander.
Yet they come back to me,
Come with their brave hearts beating,
Longing to die for me,
Me, the grey, old, weary mother,
Throned amid the Northern waters.
Lauchlan MacLean Watt.
