Roman/Celtic history 101: Although Julius Caesar had led expeditionary forces to Britain in 55 and 54 BC, an actual full scale invasion did not occur until 43 AD. The Celtic tribes of Albion (as the Romans called Britain) had begun to revolt, and Rome needed to send a message. The first wave of invasion arrived at the southeastern coast of Kent. I can imagine what the tribes living in the area must have thought when they saw the thousands of legionnaires disembarking on their shore. This song is my interpertation of one man’s struggle and resistance to the Roman invasion. The Romans stayed for over 400 more years, creating a wonderful, hybrid Celto-Romano culture that we are still learning about from the historical record. BTW, evidence of Roman incursions to the Irish coast is only now coming to light, although the Romans didn’t seem to want to hang around Eire for too long! A fire burns on yonder hill Pagans painted in blue and white Ancient drumbeats, pipes call out Bring forth spirits in the night Mead and honey, ale and wine Moss stone altar, forest church Oak and beech, elm and pine Ghostly hue of whitest birch Theres a maiden that I know Hair of black and skin like snow Eyes of green, lips soft and warm A refuge from the coming storm Smell of wood-smoke, campfires burn My father said one day theyd come They wait not for the tide to turn They march out with the rising sun What where when and who we were Before our souls were bought and sold Before civilization came …

With no no-trespass laws, as we were told over and over by the Scots, we were free to go anywhere we liked, and this official walk took us along what had been an old railroad track. It is now a dirt road, and this threw me, as I was looking for actual tracks. We next went into a field full of sheep, which also wrapped around parts of Loch Tay. We took a short detour up a steep hill covered in blue bells, so thick they reached to mid-calf on me. Stinging nettles rose almost to my waist. We came back down to follow a road which led us to the abandoned ruins, deep in a copse, of one of the Campbell castles, Finlarig. It was not even visible from the track below. It felt like I imagined the four children must have felt like discovering the ruins of Cair Paravel in Prince Caspian. I don’t think Cair Paravel had a beheading pit, though. Next to Finlarig stood a mausoleum. Both were overgrown with years of vegetation, and in the clearing with them stood the celtic crosses atop the tombstones of a relatively recent Lord and Lady Campbell, buried there in 1922 and 1932. After climbing all over, we went out the other side of the wood where we saw a wider …
