The song prominently features Loch Lomond, the largest Scottish loch, located between the council areas of West Dunbartonshire, Stirling and Argyll and Bute. In Scots, "bonnie" means "attractive", "beloved", or "dear". Lyrics By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes, Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond, Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae, On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond. ''Chorus:'' O ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore ye, But me and my true love will never meet again, On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond. 'Twas there that we parted, in yon shady glen, On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomond, Where in soft purple hue, the highland hills we view, And the moon coming out in the gloaming. ''Chorus'' The wee birdies sing and the wildflowers spring, And in sunshine the waters are sleeping. Bu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tottenham High Road
Tottenham High Road is the main thoroughfare through the district of Tottenham, in the London Borough of Haringey. It runs from Edmonton in the North (where it becomes Fore Street) to Stamford Hill in the South (where the road becomes Stamford Hill). South of Bruce Grove the road is part of the A10; to the north it is part of the A1010.

Streatham High Road
Streatham High Road, some 1.8 miles (2.9 km) in length, is part of the main A23 road from London to Brighton, and is in the London Borough of Lambeth. It begins in the north at Streatham Hill railway station, being an end-on junction with ''Streatham Hill'' and continues south to Norbury where the A23 becomes ''London Road''. Because Streatham existed in Saxon times, it is likely the road existed as early as 1068, when it is mentioned in literature. "Britain's Worst Street" In 2002 it was voted, in a contentious BBC/Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment poll, to be ''Britain's Worst Street'' – largely thanks to its traffic problems, and a generally poor ambience (run-down shopfronts, damaged pavements). However, it is a busy shopping area in the day, and a busy nightlife area in the evening. Even before this report had appeared, a plan was being formulated by Transport for London Street Management (who are legally responsible for the road and pavement m ...

Chiswick High Road
Chiswick High Road is the principal shopping and dining street of Chiswick, a district in the west of London. It was part of the main Roman road running west out of London, and remained the main road until the 1950s when the A4 was built across Chiswick.
