Tour Scotland Hame, Hame, Hame, video. A beautiful and sad song, sung by Andy M. Stewart of Silly Wizard.

Hame, Hame, Hame,
Hame wad I be.
Hame, Hame, Hame,
In my ain country

Where the bark and the pine
and the bonny rowan tree
They are all bloomin' fair,
In my ain country

Hame, hame, hame,
Hame wad I be,
Hame, hame, hame
In my ain country

Where the wild deer run
through the glen I'll never see
Where my heart will lie to mend
In my ain country

Hame, hame, hame,
Hame wad I be,
Hame, hame, hame
In my ain country

Where the glint thru the mark
aye tells tae me
it'll shine upon them yet
In my ain country

Hame, hame, hame,
Hame wad I be,
Hame, hame, hame
In my ain country

Where the bark and the pine
and the bonny rowan tree
They are all bloomin' fair,
In my ain country

Tour Scotland Winter Photograph Iron Jougs Dowally

Tour Scotland Winter photograph of the iron punishment Jougs at Dowally, Perthshire, Scotland. Jougs were an iron collar fastened by a short chain to a wall, often, as above, at the parish church, or to a tree. The collar was placed round the offender's neck and fastened by a padlock. The jougs were in reality a pillory. They were used for ecclesiastical as well as civil offences. Examples could still be seen in Scotland at the beginning of the 20th century. It may have lent its name to the modern "jug", slang for prison. A criminal in the jougs would expect to be abused but his or her life was not be endangered.
