I'm on site with a conference at a lakeside venue that was once a Methodist camp/resort 100 years ago through... the 60s?

Anyway, the sunrise this morning was nifty. Plus, swans!

The word gloamin was popularised worldwide in 1911, when it was used by Harry Lauder in the song "Roamin in the gloamin".

Although it is 70 years since Lauder died, he remains a controversial figure in Scotland, because of the pastiche portrayal of a Scotsman employed by him in his stage persona.

However, he did have a superb voice, had great diction, and performed some great songs. This particular song is a remastered version from 1926.

This time of day is called "gloamin" in Scots. Seem so descriptive.
