Tour Scotland Video Lady Ashmore Celtic Cross Gravestone Drimmie Perthshire
Tour Scotland video of the Lady Ashmore Celtic Cross gravestone on visit to Drimmie, near Bridge of Cally, Perthshire, Scotland. Lady Ashmore was the daughter of William Hartley, Ruthwell, Dumfriesshire. She married John Wilson, Lord Ashmore, a Senator of the College of Justice, Scotland. Their only son was killed in action in 1915. She wrote many songs and poems about the Clan Cameron including; The Cameron Men, Tales Of Two Streets, Farewell To The Camerons, Cameron Colours, The Changing Of The Guard, The Witch's Warning, Loch-na-Clive, Lochaber Bees, In Nevis Glen, A Cameron Claymore, Cameron Coins, Pipe And Drum, Cameron Born, A Cameron Badge, Camerons All, A Highland Laddie.
Far, far away in the wilds of Lochaber,
Ever since there was a home on the heath,
There have been men with a dirk or a claymore
Ready if need be to fly from the sheath:
And as of old in the Cameron country,
When the dear Standard is raised in the glen,
There will the tartans be gathered together
While there are Camerons, Cameron men.
Have they not shown the brave Cameron spirit
Over and over and over again,
Ever since facing the Germans' first fury,
Whether at Mons, on the Marne, or the Aisne,
Are there not many new names on their Honours,
And though the Colours may only bear ten,
None of the rest will be ever forgotten
While there are Camerons, Cameron men.
Who could forget their success at Givenchy,
When a great midnight advance had been made -
Mile after mile with the Camerons marching
Right at the head of the war worn Brigade:
All day and night the fierce battle had lasted,
Many a comrade had passed from their ken;
But in the line when Sir Douglas took over,
There were the Camerons, Cameron men.
Theirs is the heart that will rise in disaster -
Oh, how they fought with their backs to the wall,
In that dark hour when the Channel was threatened,
Holding their own though the heavens should fall!
Vainly the enemy tried to recover
Even a part of that dearly bought fen
Vainly he tried, not an inch would be yielded
While there were Camerons, Cameron men.
And, in the end, after taking Buzancy,
Storming the fort of the Hindenburg Line,
They would remember then, even while marching
Marching at last on the road to the Rhine
Those gallant comrades who fell by the wayside,
Giving their all for their country, and then
Say but these words, and no more would be needed
"They, too, were Camerons, Cameron men."

Tour Scotland Video Highland Cow Scottish Bull Glamis Angus
Tour Scotland video of a Highland Cow and a Scottish bull on visit to a field near Glamis Castle, Scotland. Highland cattle, Heilan coo, are a Scottish cattle breed. They have long horns and long wavy coats that are coloured black, brindle, red, yellow, white, silver, looks white but with a black nose, or dun, and they are raised primarily for their meat. They originated in the Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland and were first mentioned in the 6th century AD. The first herd book described two distinct types of Highland cattle but, due to crossbreeding between the two, only one type now exists and is registered. They have since been exported worldwide.
