Knoydart Album


This is my photo album from a recent trip to Knoydart. The words in this post are the lyrics to the song "Knoydart", by John Lees, from the Barclay James Harvest album, "Caught in the Light". All photos enlarge - click on an image to see it properly!


On the road to nowhere, heading for Mallaig

I can feel the wild west highland breeze
Drive all my fears away





Through the raging Sound of Sleat

Safe on Spanish John
I can't wait for heaven's gate
It's paradise I'm looking on






Sky, nothing but blue sky all around
Sky, nothing but blue sky
Feel the silence calling all around
All around




Eagle high on Ladhar Bheinn
Heaven and hell beneath
Kinloch Hourn's where hell is born
And Nevis where the angels meet



Knoydart mends a broken heart
Heals a tortured soul
Brings new life to tired minds
And brightens eyes that look upon



Sky, nothing but blue sky all around
Sky, nothing but blue sky
Feel the silence calling all around
All around




Inverie, oh Inverie, ancient hearts of old
Ugly b______ one and all
We'll gather just to look upon

Sky, nothing but blue sky all around
Sky, nothing but blue sky
Feel the silence calling all around
All around
