In Search of Brigadoon

I just got back from Scotland, so it may be a couple of days before I get a real post up, but in the mean time here is the obligatory photo-montage of gorgeous vistas set to music.

These are all pictures from the same day, the day we took on Ben Nevis. Ben Nevis is the tallest mountain in Scotland, and we got about 3/4 to the top. Unfortunately we had to turn around because of navigational trail, but we hike about 7 miles and 1200 m (about 3937 ft.) in altitude.

Diclaimer 1 : If you want the music, you'll have to sing along.
Disclaimer 2: The only heather in these pictures is metaphorical. I think it is actually moss.


The mist of May is in the gloamin', and all the clouds are holdin' still.
So take my hand and let's go roamin' through the heather on the hill.
The mornin' dew is blinkin' yonder. There's lazy music in the rill,
And all I want to do is wander through the heather on the hill.
There may be other days as rich and rare.
There may be other springs as full and fair.
But they won't be the same--they'll come and go,
For this I know:
That when the mist is in the gloamin', and all the clouds are holdin' still,
If you're not there I won't go roamin' through the heather on the hill,
The heather on the hill.
Love,
The Mouse
