A song for St Andrew’s Day © Ian Davidson

Andrew is oor patron saint, as Scotland ay remembers.
His flags’ll fly here every year, on the 30th o’ November.

Andrew wis a fisherman. His faither wis the same there.
His brither was Saint Peter, an’ they left when Jesus came there.

Andrew wis the first disciple (Got the loaves an’ fishes).
He learned the truths fae Jesus, an’ carried oot his wishes.

He brought the Guid News later oan, tae Russia an’ tae Poland,
an’ Turkey, Hungary an’ Greece. An’ intae many more lands.

Finally, in Southern Greece, he preached the Truth that frees us.
They hanged him, an’ he chose a cross, that’s no’ the cross o’ Jesus.

Efter years, his bones were sent tae be kept in Istanbul, then.
An’ later, some were moved tae Fife, by a bishop, or St Rule, then.

They built the saint a chapel there, an ‘ then a Cathedral came,
An’ then a host of pilgrims (An’ St Andrew’s wis its name.)

They tell the tale o’ Andrew’s cross: it helped the Scots in battle,
Appearin’ high across the sky, above the broadswords’ rattle.

To you also Robert. :-)

A happy St Andrews Day to all.

And we stop at a hotel in Ecclefechan on our way to Scotland. :-)

If you lived in Fife you would take the ferry from Notyj Queensferry to South Queensferry and keep your ticket to prove you were a bona fide traveller :-D

I remember the days when you had to be a "bona fide" traveller before you could get a drink on a Sunday in Scotland.

Emma - I think it is fair to say that when I lived in Fife, Edinburgh, Dundee, Perth, Dunkeld, and Iona, i spent more time in my favourite watering holes - outside of licensing hours than I did during official opening times :-D :-( :-D :-(

OFITG...naughty :-D :-D

Have had many a good night(when younger)with a lock in :-D :-D

Hiya lavender :-)

Love Oban - regularly travelled between Oban and Craignure, on more than one occasion I found myself stuck in the bar on the ferry in the Sound of Mull - because it could not dock at Craignure or get back to Oban because the weather had turned stormy - the things a Scot will do for a drink outside of licensing hours :-D

Do you qualify - for what?

For this site - yes certainly. We welcome anyone who has any connection with Scotland.
And with a name like Lavender, the sky's the limit!!

I holiday in Oban every year, like oatcakes and love scottish tablet.

Do I qualify??? ;-)

It is a tricky one having "rights" to food names.

I like Ecclefechan Tarts but they are made by Walkers in the Highlands so if Ecclefechan claim the "right" what then?
