Home Poet's Corner Bard & Monarch Thrummy Cap In Memory The Antiquary Ye're Deid Laddies & Haddies Clochandighter Shetland Connection In my own words |
I can't even remember where I
found this little verse but I must have found it somewhere because it's
not the sort of poem I'm likely to have come up with myself. I also had
to check out the meaning of the word "pibroch" and I've since discovered
that it is a form of music for Scottish bagpipes, consisting of a theme
and variations. The word pibroch is based on the Gaelic word piobaireachd.

Ho, the bonnie tartan plaidie!

Hech, Ho, the cummers caddie,
Dinna forget,
The bannocks' het,
Gin ye love your Highland
laddie. |
