Knight time

I've been reading stories and poems about knights and soldiers recently so Mummy and Daddy took me to Elderslie today to see the William Wallace Monument and the ruins of what's claimed to have been his house ... the perfect field trip for a budding knight!


"When I was young and herdit sheep,
I read auld tales o' Wallace wight;
My heid was fou o' sangs and threip
O' folk that feared nae mortal might.
But noo I'm auld and weel I ken
We're made alike o' gowd and mire;
There's saft bits in the stievest men
The bairnliest's got a spunk o' fire."

(John Buchan - The Shorter Catechism)
