Away up in the Highlands of Scotland,
There's a place so dear to me,
With its Rivers, Lochs and Mountains,
It's a place you've got to see,

The Osprey's seen at the local Loch,
Where she nests and rears her chick,
Catching Trout and Salmon,
With her talons so long and thick,

The forests span for miles around,
As far as the eye can see,
And the wildlife so abundant,
It makes you feel so free,

Every breath your body takes,
The air's so clean and pure,
Scents from Pine and Heather,
Natures remedy for sure,

From Deer up on the hillside,
Or Red Squirrels at their play,
And Eagles flying overhead,
It's just a normal day,

And as the sun goes down to rest,
And the day becomes the night,
It'll happen again tomorrow,
As you rise in the morning light.
