Highland Glen's and Beyond

Igneous stones
All greyed with age
Scatter the hillside
In greened moss stage
 
Forests of pine
Patch blankets of tree's
Fenced from the deer
Who eat as they please
 
Heather bloomed purples
Carpet the ground
Ferns like fans
In the winds, rebound
 
Mountains of the glen
Over 3000 feet
Munro's to climbers
Incredible feats
 
The roads to the isles
Passages to the sea
To the Isle of Skye
The west of my country
 
Nearly 800 islands
Coastal Sporadic
Invaded by many
Celtic and Nordic
 
Thermals so high
Where the Eagle soars
Rivers and falls
In waterfall roar
 
Tartans and whiskey
Gaelic and pipes
Highland Glen's for scenery
There's nothing alike

Sounds like a beautiful place. I would love to see the heather and the moutains. Waterfalls just one of my favorite things. Keep writing. Sara
