Long ’ere Her Majesty the Queen Had visited of Aberdeen, ’Ere she in castle did abide ’Mong glorious hills on the Dee side, Or visited each Highland glen, Or won the hearts of Highland men, Here oft’ was seen in celtic dress Two Stewarts brave in Inverness, Well worthy of the poet’s lyre. They claimed Prince Charlie as grandsire, And that they also did combine Stuart with Royal Polish line, Their names Sobieskie, Stuart, They won many a Highland heart, But Royal order did go forth To build Balmoral Castle North, Then wondrous change was quickly seen, All hearts were captured by the Queen.
