Highlands | The Amazing of Glencoe - Part II

 
 
The Massacre Of Glencoe
by The Corries
 
(chorus)
Oh cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe
And covers the grave o' Donald
And cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe
And murdered the house o' MacDonald
(chorus)

They came through the blizzard, we offered them heat
A roof ower their heads, dry shoes for their feet
We wined them and dined them, they ate o' our meat
And slept in the house O' MacDonald

(chorus)

They came from Fort William with murder mind
The Campbell had orders, King William had signed
Pit all tae the sword, these words underlined
And leave none alive called MacDonald

(chorus)

They came in the night when the men were asleep
That band of Argyles, through snow soft and deep.
Like murdering foxes, among helpless sheep
They slaughtered the house o' MacDonald

(chorus)

Some died in their beds at the hands of the foe
Some fled in the night, were lost in the snow.
Some lived to accuse him, what struck the first blow
But gone was the house of MacDonald

(chorus x2)


 


 
 




Highlands | The Amazing of Glencoe - Part I

 
 
 
Salam
Hi there, do you still with me? Hehehe.
Sorry, entry tenggelam timbul, harapnya anda tidak bosan.
 
For the whole route of the Highland's trip, for us, Glen Coe is the most beautiful and stunning view! Superb!
Boleh search on youtube for the whole view of Glen Coe, Ada banyak version ikut musim. Luckily for us masa pergi ni masih ada saki baki snow, so the colors of beauty mix well and combine with the nature.
 
Masuk je situ, wow, am I in Switzerland dear? Ho ho, not yet babe!
The overall landscape is amazing, okay, I'm speechless, you can google it for yourself. And of course I can't take freestyle photo as we're bound with the trip, kat mana dia stop kat situ baru boleh trun okay. The rest all snaps from the window, sigh!
That's one reason why you should drive by yourself!!
 
Then, Glen Coe also had its own history, its sound tragic, but it happened a long time ago, in 1692, the Massacre of Glencoe! Again, you have to do a homework, hehe, find it by yourself if you interested to know further, hihi. They said, you still can hear their cries! Scary huh!
 
The above two videos are taken just using a handphone. One of them, taking from the moving vehicle - you can clearly see the famous three sisters hill from the video, which are Aonach Dubh, Gearr Aonach and Beinn Fhada.
The another is taken when we're stopping at the corner. Angin sgt kuat, you can hear it in the video!
Okay dear, till we meet again, enjoy the pics!
