Poem
All ye pleasure-seekers, where'er ye be, I pray ye all be advised by me, Go and visit Tayport on the banks o' the Tay, And there ye can spend a pleasant holiday. The village and its surroundings are magnificent to be seen, And the shops on the High Street are tidy and clean, And the goods, I'm sure, would please the Queen, They cannot be surpassed in Edinburgh or Aberdeen. And the villagers' gardens are lovely to be seen, There sweet flowers grow and gooseberries green. And the fragrant air will make you feel gay While viewing the scenery there on the banks of the Tay. Scotscraig is an ancient and a most charming spot, And once seen by visitors will never be forgot. 'Twas there that Archbishop Sharp lived long ago, And the flower-garden there is a very grand show. The flower beds there are very beautiful to see, They surpass the Baxter Park flower beds in Dundee, And are all enclosed in a round ring, And there the bee and the butterfly are often on the wing. Scotscraig farm-house is magnificent to see With its beautiful rich fields of wheat and barley, And the farm-house steading is certainly very fine, And the scenery is charming in the summer time. The Serpentine Walk is a secluded spot in Scotscraig wood, And to be walking there 'twould do one's heart good. There the lovers can enjoy themselves in its shady bowers By telling tales of love to wile away the tedious hours. There innocent rabbits do sport and play During the livelong summer day Amongst the ivy and shrubberies green, And screened all day from the sun's sheen. Then, lovers of the picturesque, off and away To the village of Tayport on the banks o' the Tay, And ramble through Scotscraig wood, It will, I'm sure, do your bodies good. And, as ye walk along the Serpentine Walk, With each other ye can have a social talk, And ye will hear the birds singing away, Which will make your hearts feel light and gay. And while walking underneath the branches of the trees, Ye will hear the humming of the bees. Therefore, pleasure-seekers, make no delay, But visit Scotscraig wood on a fine summer day. There visitors can be shaded from the sun in the summer time, While walking along the secluded Serpentine, By the spreading branches of the big trees, Or from the undergrowth ivy, if they please. Do not forget to visit the old Tower, Where Archbishop Sharp spent many an hour, Viewing the beautiful scenery for miles away Along the bonnie banks o' the silvery Tay.
