Imagination Nation
There are tartans and teapots and twills up here,
and haggis and Hovis and hail.
But deep in the loch, there's a beastie
(they say she's as big as a whale).
She's been hiding for many millenia,
disguised by the chop of a wave.
If you're quick you might catch her on camera,
as she's diving back down to her cave.
and haggis and Hovis and hail.
But deep in the loch, there's a beastie
(they say she's as big as a whale).
She's been hiding for many millenia,
disguised by the chop of a wave.
If you're quick you might catch her on camera,
as she's diving back down to her cave.
