WELCOME TO SCOTLAND POEMS

Published: 14 September 2012

East Lothian Multicultural Day is on Sunday 16 September 2012.  As part of the celebrations for this, the S3 Social Subjects classes were given a home learning assignment where they were asked to write a poem entitled ‘Welcoming Scotland’.

Examples of these from 3G1 can be viewed below…

William Syme
Welcome to Scotland,
A land so diverse.
Something for everyone,
So why not immerse.

Ours lochs, our mountains,
Our wildlife, our glens.
Miles of rugged perfection,
You’re luck never ends.

Walking through forests,
Flowing, vibrant, wild.
Seeing all the creatures,
Reverting to a child.

Our national dress,
The glorious kilt.
Made out of tartan,

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of...
