Lyrics composed by John Henderson on the 19th of July, 2013,
to Angus Fitchet's playing of the main melody in his 'Silver
I remember fondly our school that stood upon the Castle Rock
Where we studied steadily from nine till four o'clock
Under patient teachers who year on year revealed what could be
From getting a grasp of the essence of life's knowledge stock.
Its quadrangle heaved with blue-blazered groups parading up and
Till the tolling of the bell caused scatt'ring from its sound
To the shelt'ring cloisters whose ancient doors led into
Where pupils if fain e'er had much to gain from 'cap and gown'.
I am ever grateful for friends made there when I was young and
This indeed was fellowship I'll value till I die.
I still picture clearly the ups and downs we shared along the
While facing each day of hard work and play at Stirling High.
