I've just come down from the Isle of Skye

I've just come down from the Isle of Skye,
I’m no very big and I'm awful shy,
And the lassies shout when I go by,
" Donald where’s your troosers."

Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low,
Through the streets in my kilt I'll go,
And all the lassies shout hello,
Donald where's your troosers.

A Lassie took me to a ball,
And it was slippery in the hall.
And I was feart that I would fall,
Fur I hadnae on ma' troosers.

Chorus.

I went down to London Town,
And I had some fun in the underground.
The ladies turned their heads around,
Saying "Donald where's your troosers".

Chorus.

To wear the kilt is my delight.
It isna wrong, I know its right.
The islanders would get a fright.
If they saw me in the troosers.

Chorus.

They'd like to wed me every wan.
Just let them catch me if they can.
You cannae tak’ the breeks aff a Hielan’ man.
And I don't wear the troosers.

Chorus.

Scottish Highland Croft

Young Flora Simple of Edinburgh was visiting a small Scottish croft in the North West Highlands of Scotland. She had praised her hostess for her butter and cream, and had been told that these were easy to provide as they kept a cow. She praised the ham as well, and Flora was told that, of course they kept a pig. flora began to see the light, so when clover honey appeared at tea time she showed how she had gained knowledge of the economics of crofting by pointing to the honey, and remarking, "I see you keep a bee."

Scottish Hope

This tale concerns the Scottish poet, Thomas Campbell. Campbell, when a young man, was on a walking tour in the South of Scotland and met a very stormy spell of weather in the midst of the Lowther Hills. He made for the nearest inn and, after a hearty meal of ham and eggs, he got himself to bed. It was a wild wet night, but the inn was dark and cosy, and the young Scottish poet lay musing upon his latest poem. Suddenly there came a gentle tap at the door and the dainty little serving lass, shading a candle with her hand, slipped quietly into the room. She crept up to the bedside table and smiling shyly, whispered, "Sir, could take another into your bed ?" "With all my heart," breathed the young poet. "I thank you, sir," said the young lass, "for Johnny MacGrizzle, the Moffat cattleman, has just arrived, soaked to the skin." And that is supposed to have suggested to Campbell the title of his next volume, The Pleasure of Hope. The Book of Pleasures: Containing the Pleasures of Hope, by Thomas Campbell; the Pleasures of Memory, by Samuel Rogers; and the Pleasures of Imagination, by Mark Akenside..

Traditional Oatcakes of Scotland

Traditional Oatcakes of Scotland are made on a hot girdle, which Scotswomen, in days gone by, used to use more than their frying pan. To make twenty-four oatcakes you will need one pound of fine oatmeal, one tablespoon of melted dripping, lard or bacon fat, one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda, one half teaspoon of salt, and luke-warm water to mix. Add baking powder, salt and fat to the oatmeal. Mix with water to a fairly stiff dough. Roll out in oatmeal to about one eight of an inch thick. Cut in rounds or triangles and cook on both sides on a fairly hot girdle or pan. Dry out thoroughly in a hot oven until the edges curl. Oatcakes are spread with butter and eaten with Scottish cheeses. Best Scottish Cooking.
