Tonight the wind gnaws
And stabs with icy daggers
On top of Kinnoull Hill
With Perth city Christmas lights
Sparkling in the still, twilight air.
Across to the meandering Tay
And rich tapestry of farmland
In the Carse of Gowrie.
North, the dividing wall of
The Highland Boundary Fault
At Dunkeld and, beyond, moors
And forests culminating in
Brooding mountainscapes of
Schiehallion and Ben Lawers.
A memorable 360-degrees view
Despite the inclement weather.
