Discover Dundee by Motorhome
Captain Scott’s RSS Discovery
Discovery Point
The Discovery Point Antarctic Museum is based here.
Experience the harsh conditions endured by Scott’s crew.
With a hands-on exhibition and a range of historical artefacts on show.
Its award-winning attraction status is well deserved.
This is a good way to kill a few hours before returning to your Motorhome.
Dunnottar Castle
Close to Stonehaven and well worth a visit. Campsite close by.
The Dusty Book
While reading through a dusty book ‘bout Pirate ships and Captain Cook
Sailing on the stormy seas and Clipper ships transporting teas
I see a vision on the tide of one who is to be my bride
Coming closer full sail billowing four white horses beneath her flowing
Imaginary maiden soon to wane hallucinary horses becoming plain
While reading through a dusty book ‘bout Pirate ships and Captain Cook
While reading through a dusty book ‘bout fishing with a baited hook
Those tastiest morsels to ensnare luring the beauteous unaware
I soon receive a nibbling feeling excitement rising quickly reeling
About to land my longed for catch a silver darling in my hatch
The rod is limp the game is played off to port swims a fine mermaid
While reading through a dusty book ‘bout fishing with a baited hook
While reading through a dusty book ‘bout Irish stew and how to cook
I dream I see a colleen there with rosy cheeks and auburn hair
Stirring with a wooden ladle rocking a baby in the cradle
Tempting me with tasty spoonful singing lullabys so tuneful
Mavourneen’s not what it may seem only a wish in a vagabond’s dream
While reading through a dusty book ‘bout Irish stew and how to cook
While reading through a dusty book ‘bout vanity and how I look
Combing over my balding patch hoping that I meet my match
Plucking at my nose and sneezing looking at my image pleasing
Mirror mirror on the wall I am handsome fair and tall
Polishing my shoes with blacking I can hear the mirror cracking
While reading through a dusty book ‘bout vanity and how I look.
Perhaps you would enjoy reading the adventures of Francie and Josie.
