Hundreds of Nairn residents turned out today at the War Memorial. Numbers were, once again, up on the previous year.
A Gaelic tribute on one of the wreaths - The regimental toast of the Highlanders
Tir nam Beann, nan Gleann, 's nan Gaisgeach,
Far am faighear an t-eun fionn
'S far am faigh am faidh fasgadh
Cho fada's chitear ceo mu bheann
'S a ruitheas uisge le gleann,
Mairidh cuimhne air euchd nan treun
Slainte agus buaidh gu brath
Le Gillean Gleadach
Cabarfeidh gu brath !
The Land of Hills, Glens and Heroes,
Where the Ptarmigan thrives
And where the red deer finds shelter.
As long as mist hangs o'er the Mountains
And water runs in the glens.
The deeds of the Brave will be remembered
Health and Success forever
To the Lads from the Highlands
Cabarfeidh gu Brath !
(The Deer's Horns Forever !)
