WELCOME
to family and local-history researchers
and storytellers
with a special interest
in people who went abroad
from the area of
the old Province of Moray
which had (and has)
Strathspey
at its heart!
Aye Brizzing Yont!
As owre the world’s whinstane roads
Life’s fash you’re fechtin’ thro’
Ye’ll likely meet wi’mony slips
An maybe fa’s a few,
But no for that gang heepie-creep,
But still wi’ manly front
Thro’ drodum-skelpin’ scaur an’ waur
Be aye brizzing yont.
From “Lilts of the Doric Lyre: A collection of humorous poems and versified sketches of Scottish Manners and Characters” by Alex G. Murdoch published by A.F. Sharp &Co Glasgow 1873
Please note:
In all these pages the use of bold type-face for specific words in the text, wide spacing and short paragraphs is intended to provide clear “stepping stones” for the many people who have problems with visual focus, especially when faced by broad rivers of text.
It may also help those who are scanning or speed reading but that is a spin off.
Thank you for your understanding.
