Welcome to Blair Everywhere

There’s a flame in a field that’s burning tonight
In the deep heart of Scotland: a campfire bright
Each crack of its wood, a laugh of delight
And this is the flame of Blair Atholl

The warmth of its glow is a symbol of unity
The coming together of a wee world community
Gifting us fellowship at each opportunity
Aye, this is the flame of Blair Atholl

But the year arrived as a constant test
Thwarting our Perthshire biennial quest
But we are Scouts and we did our best
To carry the flame of Blair Atholl

By sending Blair everywhere for all to take part
Our wee world community: together, apart
Wherever you are, the Field’s in your heart
And so is the flame of Blair Atholl

Soon we’ll return to Target Park
And until then fear not for the spark
For a fire burns brightest when smothered with dark
Friends, we are the flame of Blair Atholl
