Còig Peathraichean Chinn Tàile

There is a place in Scotland Where a historic family reside They stand proud in their surroundings In the Scottish countryside If you desire to view them To the Northwest Highlands you must go For at this time of year They are capped with virgin snow So head towards Glen Shiel For they lie, between two Scottish Lochs Cluanie and Duich Where many tourists flock Mountaineers and hill walkers Grace, as they prevail The family that i talk off The Five Sisters of Kintail http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/scotland-2.php

so it has to be Scotland that you hail from. I have heard of this place, Five Sisters. from some of my poetry friends over there! So it's already the new year there, right? well, goodnight. I will probably be calling it quits here now. Hubbie needs dinner soon! Enjoyed reading many of your poems tonight too. Andrea

A beautiful land with many friendly folk when we visted.Pity it's so far from my part of England.But I still plan to make a holiday visit Perth and local area to visit the scenery of my two favourites Scottish poets William Soutar of cinquain and the lesser known Michael Bruce.Rgds Brian
