Summary

In the first song the author praises Inverlochy. He says that it is a beautiful place with pretty views. He would be happy to go there and there is no place as scenic or famous.

In the second, the bard criticises Inverlochy. He says that you can't see kilts there as should be the case. People can't speak Gaelic and the beauty and the warmth of the place has been lost. If you are not posh they will look at you strangely and they turn up their nose at you if you have a dram.

Item Notes

The praise song is sung first, followed by a satire.
