Standing on the pebble
Older than the tide
Assizes a castle
Mightier than the time
You endured the charge of Viking
O temple of picts
You witnessed the wrath of the Bravest
O den of the fearless scots
Kings, queens, and knights
Came and went like daylily
But you abided adroit
Like a timeless testimony
Slanting by deceitful the sea
Like a paramount of all pulchritude
Today, you enchant every stranger
With your pernicious lure.
