History

Mummy and Daddy took me to Craigmillar Castle in Edinburgh today. It's full of wonderful rooms, corridors and twisting staircases to explore and is steeped in history. Mummy and Daddy enjoyed the history part but I was more interested in running wild through the castle and grounds ... charge!


"Here lies our land: every airt
Beneath swift clouds, glad glints of sun,
Belonging to none but itself.

We are mere transients, who sing
Its westlin’ winds and fernie braes,
Northern lights and siller tides,

Small folk playing our part.
‘Come all ye’, the country says,
You win me, who take me most to heart."

(Kathleen Jamie - Here lies our land)
