A Most Beautiful Journey

In my many poems Of a country so rare Spare me a few minutes As i take you there We are Alba The land of the Scots Once we meet We are forget me not A nation so free In this world we reside Bravehearts Oozing with pride And the news of today Confirms my write For a train journey so beautiful Has just been named, the worlds best sight From Glasgow to Mallaig Gorgeous lochs it does pass On train journeys the world over This is above first class Over the Glenfinnan viaduct Its the first of its kind Made of modern concrete It will blow your mind The silver sands of Morar Like gold dust in the mist Whilst the Atlantic tides desire They can't take, but they still persist The train journey i talk about In this land of mine It runs from Glasgow to Mallaig Its " The West Highland Line " So my friends on the Soup If you get the chance to travel Visit my Braveheart land And watch our beauty unravel http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/scotland-3.php

The write is alluring and inviting me to come visit Scotland and enjoy your beautiful homeland. We enjoy train rides in the States that is short ones. We have longed to go on one that would cover several states. Thank you for the comments on my work. Keep your creative and expressive pen flowing. Sara

I admire your pride in your country. This train ride sounds incredible and I would like to see the surrounding lochs for myself one day. I just saw Marty's comment about the kilt and giggled for I know you'd look just like Mel Gibson if you wore one. We American ladies have a deep passion for the men of Scotland; Braveheart certainly worked some magic. Awesome tribute to your homeland! Love, carolyn

Did you stop by Arisaig ? spent my honemoon in the station cottage back in 1960. No electricity just beautiful paraffin lamps..Petrol pumps were open on an honour system, bags of shell fish lay untouched on the shore. A truly heavenly place. Thanks for the memory...Margaret
