Famous quotes containing the word highlands:

    My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
    My heart’s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;
    Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe:
    My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    Ye Highlands and ye Lawlands.
    Oh! where hae ye been?
    They hae slain the Earl of Murray,
    And hae laid him on the green.
    —Unknown. The Bonny Earl of Murray (l. 1–4)
