Summer in Scotland
Sorry, Gordon. I couldn't resist it xx
I thought I'd add an appropriate musical accompaniment, but it all sounded too bloody awful so have some of this classic Steeleye Span instead.

About Me
- Name: Cherrypie
- Location: North of Watford, United Kingdom
There's nothing remarkable about me, except my ability to do everything the hard way, but still manage to get there, if a bit later than everyone else - but I bet I have more stories to tell along the way - and I enjoy the journey, not sure I'd know what to do on arrival.

Classic song indeed! I've been close to getting barred for overloading the pub jukebox with the Quo cover of that very song (which I personally prefer) and yes, I have seen them sing it live with Maddy Prior. Hmmm... one confession too many perhaps
I really love that photo!
Smooch,
The Tart
; )
I think you were inspired! That picture captures the romantic beauty and the soggy reality perfectly. Marvelous!

That's actually a bloody good photograph CP. Actually the times I have been to Scotland I found that kind of weather quite appropriate - I remember going to the Cullodden visitor centre when I was a kid and really spooking out on the desperately sad vibes, and imagining all this slaughter taking place in the misty rain.
Made my Sunday evening. Thanks!
I like the pic, very atmospheric.
Great song too, I haven't heard it for years. When I was little I thought she was singing around my hat I will wear a green wellie.' Not sure why LOL
Excellent, CP, and glad you "couldn't resist." What was the "appropriate musical accompaniment" you were thinking of?
Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog on Friday. As for you, there's always a bit of entertainment and a bit of fringe-style education to enjoy whenever I visit here. I consider my horizons to be broadening along with my hips...
So that's Steeleye Span! I heard their name a few times in the ancient past but always figured they were a '60s psychedelic band...
...and I still want to visit Scotland one day.
I actually appreciate bagpipes in the right setting. Like the time I shared a midnight ferry with a Pipe & Drum band from Iona to Fionnphort.
I did consider the Proclaimers and Runrig, never thought about the Waterboys, and I've seen them too, but Clannad or Enya?!!! There's about as much chance of finding that drivel on here as there is of hearing me extolling the virtues of Celine Frigging Dion.
What I really wanted to put on was the Bay City Rollers but I couldn't decide which one to use - which one would you have prefered?
Saturday Night, of course! Was there any other?
Oh, and noted your endearing reference to Celine Friggin' Dion.
She may be a Canadian icon in some parts of the world, but I point out she's from Quebec.
As HE has noted before, Quebec wants to be towed across the Atlantic and geographically attached to France.
So as much as Quebec (and, therefore, Celine Dion) is beautiful (Quebec, not Celine) and part of Canadiana, this is deemed only to be a short-term fling.
Great clip. Good fun. There's nothing wrong with Clannad or Enya, you know, well, not that the off-switch doesn't fix. What do people have against Mlle. Dion?
Thats Summer in Scotland? awww so rainy n gloomy! Come try out an Aussie Summer sometime :)
Keshi.
As for Celine F-ing Dion, don't blame us Canadians. And we also disinherit Shania Twain, Bryan Adams and maybe even Nickelback.
All around my hat - bloody marvellous! *runs of to hunt YouTube for a clip of "Gaudete"*
Bay City Rollers? It has to be "Shang-a-lang"!!
No More I Love You..Annie Lennox
"desire..despair..desire..so many monsters"
a very familiar sight that to any who have visited scotland. funny thing is though, whenever we go up there we don't seem to care about the rain. it is almost as though it were part of the holiday!
here comes the rain again..Eurythmics
who wants to live forever..Queen, from the film Highlander
I'm on my wee, from mizeree ta happeeness tadee...Proclaimers
All stoop naw!
Ah yes, the album production got nicknamed "All Around Mike Batt" :). My personal favourite is probably Commoner's Crown - that has to be one of the most subversive albums ever recorded!
