[bodytext] => Just a little about my Scottish ancestory. Dunvegan Castle is the ancestral home Of the Macleod of Macleod, It stands tall And it stands proud. On the Isle of Skye Overlooks the river banks, It's said to have A magic flag. King Harald Hardrada of Norway Invaded England in 1066, He decided to stay As he bought a Russian princess. His children, concubines and all his treasure Including a huge gold nugget It had taken 16 men to carry it. He fought a battle Against the King of England, The men fought hard To defend their native land. King Harald Hardrada Fought long and hard, He didn't ever Let down his guard. When he died His throat was pierced by an arrow, The fall of his army Must have been through much sorrow. The Magic flag Was bloodstained and placed over his face, So he wouldn't see his army being defeated He would have been so disgraced. There is a legend that's been passed down That every ten years at midnight in midsummer, The King of the fairies and all his court Come to view the flag and woe-betide mortals spying on them undercover.
