About Me

My photo
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.

Firey Cross

                Heard ye the news on the wind
                Heard ye the news on the wind
                Clansmen come forth for the Prince in the north
                Heard ye the news in the wind.

                Chorus
                Caithness Sutherland Cromarty and Ross
                Follow the Fiery Cross.


                Saw ye the sign in the sky
                Saw ye the sign in the sky
                In hundreds and tens come the loyal Highland men
                Saw ye the sign in the sky.

                Saw ye the Highlands awake
                Saw ye the Highlands awake
                From Lewis and Skye with their guns and powder dry
                Saw ye the sign in the sky.

                Saw ye the light in their eye
                Saw ye the light in their eye
                Stand if ye dare, aye, Sassenach beware
                Saw ye the light in their eye.


                Heard ye the skirl o’ the pipe
                Heard ye the skirl o’ the pipe
                Swing your claymore let them hear your battle roar
                Charles Edward Stuart he has come.

                Caithness Sutherland Cromarty and Ross
                Follow the Fiery, Fiery Fiery,
                Follow the Fiery Cross.
