GLEN DARROCH

Today we were in Luss on the banks of Loch Lomond the setting for the TV program Take the High Road.
This just so happens to be where 2 old aunts of mine used to live until their demise in the mid 70's, fortunately before the start of the filming of the series in 1979 as i am sure they would not have been amused.
They were both school teachers from the old style and frightened the shit out of me when i was taken there as a kid by my grand parents.
Their house is still there on the main street but not as nice as the one in the picture which is just how a country cottage should look.

Far away in the heilands, there stands a wee hoose
And its stand on the breest o' the brae
Where we played as laddies there long, long ago
And it seems it was just yesterday

I can still see old granny, a smile on her face
Just as sweet as the heather dew
When I kissed her good bye, wi' a tear in her eye,
Said, laddie, may god bless you

Where the heather bells are blooming
Just outside granny's door
Where as laddies there we played
In days of long ago
Neath the shadow of Ben Bhraggie
And Golspie's lordly stane
How I wish that I could see
My granny's heiland hame
