On the northern borders of England, Hadrian built a wall
"This will keep those maurauding Scots out" he thought
so he made it four foot tall
When he saw the tartan army homing into view
"These Scots are unlike us" he said "they like to wear skirts too"

But these were not frilly miny skirts, those bravehearts did adorn
these were made of the purist wool, tartan kilts were what he saw
On the fronts they wore their sporrans, or thats what people say
as from a distance, it looked like their meat and two veg were proudly on display.

It certainly had the desired effect, as the Romans ran away
And the Highland men, who did not fear, knew they won the day
They went back to their fair women folk, with only one thing on their minds, and lifted their kilts, to sheave their mighty claymores, right up to the hilt.

Red hair and red faces was what they had, these mighty Scottish folk, but apart from that, their rugged lifestyle, was certainly no joke. We forget the Scottish people, have a gentle side to them, from the fair Scottish bonnie lass, to the kilt wearing men. They are some of the warmest folk, of the humankind, who like a wee dram at Hogmany, and to sing Auld Lang Syne
