About Me

I am Miss Pancake Taylor. I have come from very far away to take care of my family Craig and Zita and Niamh and Emmet. Sometimes I have helpers; my friends the Blackthorn-Badgers. They are very old Scotsmen. I am very glad to meet you.

Lion On The Gold

For most of my life I have wandered the world
Through manys a nation with flags all unfurled
But in all of my travels no prouder flag Ive found
Than the red rampant lion of the golden ground
Its the red rampant lion of Scotland

North by the Shetlands and South by the Tweed
Its honored forever in story and deed
First into battle it always could be found
The red rampant lion of the golden ground
Its the red rampant lion of Scotland

We've lost men at Floodin, at Flanders and Spain
More at Culloden and El Alimain
But we've never been conquered and still we rally round
The red rampant lion of the golden ground
Its the red rampant lion of Scotland

The thistle is bonny when flowering alone
But whaur dare to meddle, shell cut to the bone
And to Scotland my darling, me heart is ever bound
By the red rampant lion of the golden ground
Its the red rampant lion, the lion of Scotland
A Scotland united and free

Gordon Menzies
