Dunnottar Castle
Dunnottar Castle sits
on a big rock
Protruding out into
the rich North Sea.
Looks like a toy atop
a birthday cake.
Made to guard its
lands from Pictish attacks.
It once protected
crown jewels from Cromwell.
Now tourists like to
take the lengthy walk,
Filled with curiosity
and esprit.
They follow the curvy
path like a snake.
They listen to tour
guides who spill the facts.
Before they leave,
they are under its spell.
Wars, kings, Honours
of Scotland fill the talk.
Now the ruins whisper
of past glory
Which subsequent
builders tried to remake.
Now the old buildings
can sigh and relax
While visitors are
filled with tales to tell.
