Tour Scotland Video Gavin Munro I Sent You Up Greyfriars Bar Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of Gavin Munro and friends singing a cover version of I Sent You Up by Knife in the Water in the Greyfriars Bar on visit to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland.

Well, I watched the fire in earnest
'Cause I thought it would quell my pain
But the more that I saw you burning
The more I only felt the same

So, I sent you up
But the angels turned you down
And the devil already had you
Well, he turned you right back around

So, I put you on the canvas
Like a prison for all time
But I couldn't stand to see your face
Sent chills along my spine

So, I sent you up
But the angels turned you down
And the devil already had you
But he turned you right back around

So, I cut you into pieces
And I threw you in the river
Now, the fishes, they all curse me
For the poison I deliver

So, I sent you up
But the angels turned you down
And the devil already had you
But he turned you right back around

Now your body's in the ocean
About nine hundred miles from home
And your life it never left you
Well, it just wants to be alone

So, I sent you up
But the angels turned you down
And the devil already had you
But he turned you right back around

The walls are whitewashed. There is also a belltower.

Old Photograph Kildalton Cross Scotland

Old photograph of Kildalton Cross, Islay, Scotland. This is a monolithic high cross in Celtic cross form in the churchyard cemetery of the former parish church of Kildalton, from Scottish Gaelic Cill Daltain, " Church of the Foster Son " i.e. St John the Evangelist, on the island of Islay in the Inner Hebrides. It was carved probably in the second half of the 8th century AD, and is closely related to crosses of similar date on the isle of Iona. It is often considered the finest surviving Celtic cross in Scotland, and is certainly one of the most perfect monuments of its date to survive on western Europe.

Old Photograph Balcaskie House Scotland

Old photograph of Balcaskie House located North of Pittenwee, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. This Scottish house was first built before 1629, as the home of the Moncrieffs of that Ilk, and was an L-plan house of four storeys. In 1665 the estate was bought by Sir William Bruce, who set about enlarging the house between 1668 and 1674. Bruce planned the new house himself, and employed John Hamilton as mason, and Andrew Waddell as wright. The estate was sold in 1684 to Sir Thomas Steuart, when Bruce moved to his new home at Kinross House. In 1698 it changed hands again, becoming the property of Sir Robert Anstruther, whose son Philip undertook works in the mid-18th century, including heightening the central block. It was now that the wing walls and pavilions were added, according to John Gifford. Further alterations were made by William Burn in 1830-32, including a porch and new windows, and a stable block. Between 1856 and 1858 David Bryce worked at Balcaskie, adding several baronial features. Balcaskie remains the seat of the Chief of the Name and Arms of Clan Anstruther.
