Thoughts of Home by Achana
May be sung to Galway Bay 1953 version.


If I ever go across the Ord to Caithness
( And if I’m spared, some fine day I may )
I will amble out once more along the Reay road
And watch them splitting atoms at Dounreay.


I will roam again the happy scenes of childhood
I will seek to fill the Store of memory
But one thing sure, I’ll climb the Hill o’ Stemster
And watch them splitting atoms at Dounreay.


And if by chance, while on the hill I’m waiting
A scientific trial ‘gangs agley’
I’ll surely not take long to reach my Heaven
With the power they’ll be producing at Dounreay.
