Kingdom of Sgobharaidh

Their lies on the West Coast of Scotland A Kingdom that's rarely been seen Where it's beauty radiates through ones eyes Even closed you can only but dream Natures gems thrive through seasonal change Blessing colonies of sea faring birds To witness the call of it's wilds So many voices just have to be heard Cordyline australis grace her lands They are palm trees to you and me A native from a land down under Not Australia, New Zealand is where they be This area where this Kingdom lies With it's rugged and beautiful scenes Freshwater lochs lure many anglers To catch the fish of their dreams Many visiting tourists, some in family trace To discover where their ancestors be Capturing snaps of their homelands, a past way of life Filling the blanks of their family tree Sporadic green forests of pine With ferns and heathers, carpet the lands Rugged juts off an earth from the past Spewed through her juvenile glands And this land through your eyes that you see Is the Kingdom that's rarely seen If you live here we call it Scourie So beautiful in natures scheme http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/scotland-5.php
