Billy Young recites the poem "The Raiders" by William Henry Ogilvie, and sings "Lock the Door, Lauriston", a mediaeval Borders song. This is at the Clan Armstrong Gathering, September 6th 2008 at Eskdale Hotel in Langholm.

Armstrongs should write their own song then, right?

My English teacher recited this poem in 1947, at Middle St. School in Walker, Newcastle. I am now 74 and teaching English in Japan but I still can hear the voice of Mr.Jary (a brutish man who wielded a leather strap). John Curran
