Garlic
This herb has been used for protection
When evil came to call
Hung around the window
And hung up in the hall
The vampire it would repel
When he came out to feed
If he thought the girl was beautiful
He’d take her to breed
With it, the chef likes to cook
To add a little flavour
His recipe isn’t from the book
His patrons like it to savour
Killiecrankie
Two and a half thousand highlanders
Marched unto war
Against the mighty royal force
They were up before
The highlanders’ leader
Was visited in his tent
By a ghostly harbinger
Who, as a warning had been sent
He was told that he would die
Upon the battlefield
Then he would have to take the fate
Which he had been dealed
He'd try not to go to battle
But it was not his course
So he went to meet his maker
Thanks to the English force
Battle of Culloden
Bonnie Prince Charlie led the battle,
Sword to sword you could hear the rattle,
He attempted to raid by night,
