A tiny cottage at the Rack Road’s end,
In youth it signified the trek was o’er,
Its feeble shape beyond the road’s last bend
Inspired our boundless joy upon the shore.
Some fifty years have dwindled deathly fast
The cottage now reveals an artist’s pride,
This multi angled dwelling is now vast,
But still Culzean’s in view, and by her side.
