THE HERO'S KISS

RobertBurns always dreamed of being able to write a song worthy of Bruce and Wallace so this trip to Dunfermline would have been most meaningful to him.

Among the bonny winding banks
Where Doon rins wimplin' clear
Where Bruce ance ruled
the martial ranks
And shook his Carrick spear ...
