The last time we roved through Lochaber’s dark glen, When the red blooming heather wi’ night dew was wet, You ken, bonnie lass, what ye promised me then; You canna forget love ! you canna forget ! You said when the harvest moon blink’d forth again, When the gowans’ gay hues and the simmer beams met, That the kirk and the good ring should make you my ain. Dinna forget love ! oh, dinna forget ! Ann now the sun glitters o'er braes, and through birk ; Though late in the gloaming his ray lingers yet : Simmer is come, love ; the ring and the kirk Dinna forget, love ! oh, dinna forget !The thistle has been the national emblem of Scotland since the reign of Alexander III (1249–1286), and it is found in many Scottish symbols. According to a legend, an invading Norse army was attempting to sneak up at night upon a Scottish army’s encampment. During this operation one barefoot Norseman had the misfortune to step upon a thistle, causing him to cry out in pain, thus alerting Scots to the presence of the Norse invaders. Some sources suggest the specific occasion was the Battle of Largs, which marked the beginning of the departure of King Haakon IV (Haakon the Elder) of Norway who, having control of the Northern Isles and Hebrides, had harried the coast of the Kingdom of Scotland for some years.
