A poem

A poem that I spotted - no author given - if you are the author please let me know and I can add your name ! Thought this was nice and I would say only about 10% of West Highland Way walkers seem to be British or Scottish. To have all this on our doorstep but maybe not many of our own young folk and older folk taking advantage of it all !  (Killearn is near Drymen - the first stop on West Highland Way)

Thoughts on Killearn 
I walk up the road to the moorland, 
To the sound of the curlews cry, 
I watch the sun setting over the loch, 
And I have to ask myself why — 
Do we travel the wide world over 
To see other hills, suns and lands, 
When we have this view here on our doorstep 
If we’ve ten minutes time on our hands.
