....and I'll be in Scotland a'fore ye, for me and my true love will never meet again, by the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. (by Donald McDonald). The story goes (as told by our guide) that when the Jacobite Rebellion came to an end, he was one of the captured Scottish soldiers and imprisoned with another soldier. They were given the choice - one would be set free, the other would die. Donald wrote the song to his fellow prisoner and the low road referred to his own death and that his soul would reach the banks of Loch Lomond before him. :'( beautiful story and one of many.

Beautiful image, Patti; the water is absolutely amazing and the boulders set it off to perfection. A really superb vista, captured with imagination.

A great shot and ever so nicely done. I didn't know Ronald McDonald was from Scotland...I wonder if he was a clown there too?

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Wow..awesome shot of that beautiful lake! Looks like glass out there! What a choice to have to make..who dies and who lives. Great job and thanks for the history..I've heard the song many times but didnt know the story behind it. Another one for your trophy case Ms. Fogz!

WHAT IS MAN WITHOUT THE BEASTS? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected. ~Chief Seattle VISIT MY GALLERY
I have to echo Kidder's remarks here...I have also heard this song often in my life, but had no idea as to what it was about before, although I must confess I'm a little confused about who he loved..the soldier (for whom he gave his life) or some other person..I guess I have to presume it was the soldier..I'm going to have to go look this one up...see what you've done..making me think and dig..lol...nice job on the photo, Patti..really an excellent capture. I just love it when you take trips :)

When I was a kid we went camping around Scotland at the lochs.. and Loch Lomand was the one that stuck in my mind the most (besides Loch Ness.. lol) I still have my photos from there and when I saw this I had a look at them... it hasn't changed since I was there thir..... nevermind.. a long time ago ;).. very pretty place if I remember rightly....
This is a gorgeous shot Patti.. the colours are perfect, the reflections and the peaceful feel to this makes one beautiful capture... it would look lovely hanging on a wall.. very well done..

Patti, in one om my comments on your Scotland series (a Loch Lomond photograph as well) I tried to tease you by saying that I missed the high road and the low road. Look and see, no read, and now they are there! Wonderful! Great image!! Cornelius

Please know that I enjoy your work even though I don't always get to comment. I try to look at (and enjoy) all your new posts and always appreciate the time you take to stop in at my gallery as well. Have a happy day ;) Anita
Beautiful story, but much more beautiful image. The water looks like a mirror, mirroring the most wonderful shades of blue. The stones in the front are real nice framing points. Great job my friend.

With the boulders in the foreground, lying in the smooth waters this is a wonderfully soothing moment in time. I love it -

That's a beautifull shot. My mom taught me that song (the right way) a few years ago. My dad's version was a little different. Third line he changed to "and we'll meet together in the middle". This shot is definitely going in my favorites.
