Smiling Bails

Missing image

 

 

A house in Crieff, a beauty, five bedrooms

overlooking the lowlands to the south,

the lights of Lochearnhead and St. Fillans

paint the darkened night hills with life…

 

Ancient ghosts from Perthshire march at dusk

in time to a Highlander tune

whistling in plaids through airy pipes

a lane straddling mountains and glen...

 

A house with a bit of country, a loch,

autumn harvests caught in twelfth-century tones;

an unheralded historic attraction, open space,

each bail smiling…

 

or, is it, I confess, simply my heart?

      maybe you already do...! for, I confess (again?), my source of inspiration was the online homepage of Strathearn and a real estate add for a house in the area (Crieff, no less). Of course, my blind romanticism played a part... maybe I'll give you the link, just for fun... just a sec... (and note the house for sale on the side) http://www.strathearn.com/
