The Broonie

By Derek Wilson

Roun the hulls of Newmilns are where that I belong

The bonnie burns that twist and turn they send my heart to song

The towering trees with gusting breeze enlightens to my soul

Historic tails in every trail fulfills my every goal

Invention of the train that splits our lovely toon

The lace mills and the workers that left their mark so soon

But that’s all in the past our home will rise again

So be prepared, here we come

United till the end

Memories, Nostalgia & History

History doesn't have to be in black & white

Your memory of a local character or a school photo from the last ten years can be just as interesting as wars and Victorians.
