Croy (Gaelic: Crothaigh) is a village between Inverness and Nairn, in the Highland council area in Scotland. The village looks over the Moray firth and is located a few miles from Inverness Airport.
Kilravock Castle, the seat of the Clan Rose is located one mile from the village, reached by car from Clephanton, or by foot along a track through the woods.
The site of the Battle of Culloden is located within the same parish. The local church was built in the 18th century. An old manse is associated with the church. The village hall was built in 1907 with the aid of local funding. The land where the hall stands was donated by the Kilravock estate.
The local area has expanded in recent years. Scotia Homes have completed a development of 40 homes on the outskirts of the village. A larger development of approximately 200 homes has been proposed for construction in the coming decades but this has worried the local community.
We're at the tip-top, yeah, we're not getting any better than this
I'm out of lines, girl, I'm not getting any smoother than this
But could you blame me if I...if I...if I...
Took you all for prisoner with just one line, one lie
Because I'll be the preacher to all his converts
"donate now to my rightful cause"
But what good is a quick healing to go?
If the lesson is never learned it's just like stitches for show
They say the carolina heat
Isn't something that keeping a cool head can beat
But don't discount their winter winds
And all the cold shoulders that the slightest draft lets in
But with empty stomachs and hungry eyes
Our only choice was to swallow pride
But I guess you just ate much better than the rest
We're at the ground floor
But our numbers they only get higher from here
It's not the failure, but the cost of success
Is the thing I can't help but fear
This isn't righteous
It's a mid-life crisis
I'm not compelled
You just convinced me to write this
It's for the greater good
'Cause I'd rather be great than good
They say the carolina heat
Isn't something that keeping a cool head can beat
But don't discount their winter winds
And all the cold shoulders that the slightest draft lets in
But with empty stomachs and hungry eyes
Our only choice was to swallow pride
But I guess you just ate much better than the rest
You're skin was appealing wallpaper
Now you're skin is just peeling wallpaper
They say the carolina heat
Isn't something that keeping a cool head can beat
But don't discount their winter winds
And all the cold shoulders that the slightest draft lets in
But with empty stomachs and hungry eyes
Our only choice was to swallow pride
