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
