One of the list of things I wanted to do in Islay was get the words to
Westering Home. Here they are for others who are interested.

WESTERING HOME

Westering home, and a song in the air,
Light in the eye, and it's goodbye to care;
Laughter o' love, and a welcoming there;
Isle of my heart, my own one.

Verse:
Tell me o' lands o' the Orient gay!
Speak o' the riches and joys of Cathay!
Eh, but it's grand to be walkin' ilk day
To find yourself nearer to Islay.

Chorus

Verse:
Where are the folk like the folk o' the west?
Canty and couthy, and kindly the best;
There I would hie me, and there I would rest
At hame wi' my ain folk in Islay.

Chorus
