Ship to shore
With the bow of a ship and Fortress wall's
And gallows hidden down below
Once a prison and stronghold for ammunition
Well that's how this story will unfold
Supporting Ships and Cargo
Said to be the keepers, of the Crown
Besieged, by Cromwell and his men
Yet a Castle they never brought down
Fortified wall's spanning 5 meters thick
The Castle, rebuilt brick by brick
Housing both weapons and prisoners
A Castle built like the bows of a ship
Damaged, by heavy artillery fire
Cromwell, could hold No more
Now containing French prisoners
Held within the Towers floor
Yet still standing tall and proud today
Within pretty courtyard grounds
Remains our Blackness Castle
For they never brought it down
And on the outskirts of the little village,
A great wee pub beckons there!
People come from all around
With many stories to be shared
One's about the Castle
And One's of it's History !
They're fishing boats and life
And of their time's on land and sea
So if you want to join the Craic
With some historical sights to see
Have good food and a pint of beer
The Lobster Pot's, the place tae be!
