Kinnoull Hill Tower

[mynameisjoe]

Just added to Dronescene but thought I’d share here too

There Elco stands as grimly as of yore
When mail-clad Wallace swam from shore to shore
There Scone half-burried mid the ancient trees
That speak of regal crowns to every breeze
There hoary Huntingtower, like some grey shade
Telling of wassail wild and ruthless raid
Lo! Green Dunsinane rises o’er the plain
For Shakespeare famous & The Murderous Thane
And yonder Birnam stands, as then it stood
When onward marched the dark portenous wood
A glorious vision of the roaving Tay
Leaving his mists & mountains far away
Like a bold Chief he brings from highland hills
His mingling myriads of resounding rills
And ends his race beneath yon castled steep
That rears its hoary head above the restless deep

The Pleasures of Home
By Rev. John Anderson
Minister of Kinnoull, 1852-1896

I studied music in Perth in 89-90 and I lived on Atholl Street. The amount of times I was woken up to the sound of piper playing bagpipes on the South Inch which always inspired me to walk up the hill on my own to sit on the bench and look at the stunning views. A lovely place to relax and reflect. Those memories are deep in my heart. Thank you for your pictures to remind me how good they are.
