This is Alan Mcleod's fifth collection of poems that reflect his Highland sensibilities in diverse subject matter written in English and Scots with a little Gaelic here and there. As always, Alan's self-reflection in tales of lost love is told from the perspective of the Highland character in a bid to understand what it is to be a Highlander in the twenty-first century. Highland
some say we're no an island
that Britannia is
but Hadrian made an island
oot a wall that wis
trying tae save themselves but then we were anither isle
beyond the which
nae Roman hero inclines
the real isle north
was carved by Antonine tae keep us warriors oot
and keep the gentle in

ne'er the twa tae love til Saint Columba tamed oor snake
that coiled aroon us free
north o the Tay
leaving an island of peace
in its Gaelic wake Highland
