Stirling castle - first lines read: The ancient castle of Stirling is built upon a rock, / Which in the days of warfare withstood many a shock; / And the views from the castle are lovely to see / Especially the bonnie green braes of Airthrey.
Hawthornden - first lines read: In all fair Scotland there's no spot within my ken, / Like the bonnie classic shades of Hawthornden, / Which is a very sweet and solitary seat, / And would suit a poet well for a calm retreat.
Drummond, William, 1585-1649
