Loch Lomond Song

Loch Lomond

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomon'
Where me and my true love were ever wont tae gae
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'

Chorus
Oh you tak' the high road and I'll tak the low road
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye,
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'

Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen.
On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomon',
Where in purple hue, the hielan' hills we view,
An' the moon comin' out in the gloamin'.

Chorus

The wee birdies sing, and the wild flowers spring,
While in sunshine the waters are sleepin'
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again,
Tho' the waefu' may cease free their greetin'.

Loch Lomond

Loch Lomond is Scotland’s largest loch, situated northwest of Glasgow, in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, it is also the largest area of inland water in Britain. It extends twenty four miles north from Balloch to Ardlui. At its wider southern end there are some thirty wooded islands, many of which were inhabited in the fifth century by Irish missionaries. On Inchmurrin, the largest, St Mirren is believed to have founded a monastery in the sixth century and there are ruins of the fourteenth century castle of the earls of Lennox. Inchcailloch, owned by Scottish Natural Heritage, means island of the old women, leading to the belief that there was a nunnery there, though no trace has been found. It is the burial place of the MacGregors and the Macfarlanes. Several of the islands lie along the Highland Boundary Fault. There are cruising and boating facilities and the southeast corner is a nature reserve. The West Highland Way long-distance path runs along the east bank. The Loch Lomond Golf Club is a championship course and is currently used for the annual Scottish Open. Tour Loch Lomond.
