“Waiting for the Wheel to Turn”

Here come the Clearances my friend
Silently our history is coming to life again
We feel the breeze from the storm to come
And up and down the coast
We’re waiting for the wheel to turn

We cannot live in the past, but we must remember our history. We also must remember that there were Scots involved in moving people from the lands during the Clearances, Scots who fought Scots during the Jacobite Rebellions. This is not an anti-English movement! An independent Scotland would create powers for the Scottish people to govern themselves, but we must remember that England, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales are our neighbours who all have long historical relations with us. There are a lot of positives to be taken from the past as well as negatives.

We may be waiting for the wheel to turn, but we must extend a hand of friendship to our close neighbours if we become an independent nation.
