Greig Street Bridge over the River Ness in Inverness, Scotland (United Kingdom)

The lovely lass o' Inverness, 
   Nae joy nor pleasure can she see; 
For e'en and morn she cries, 'Alas!' 
   And aye the saut tear blin's her e'e: 
'Drumossie moor, Drumossie day, 
   A waefu' day it was to me! 
For there I lost my father dear, 
   My father dear and brethren three. 

In a poem of Robert Burns
