Psalm 121
I, to the hills will life my eye; 0
whence shall come my aid? My help is from the Lord alone, Who heaven and earth
has made. He will not let Thy foot be moved, Thy guardian never sleeps; With
watchful and unslumbering care, His own he safely keeps. Thy faithful keeper is
the Lord, Thy shelter and Thy shade: ‘Neath sun or moon, by day or night, Thou
shalt not be afraid. From evil He will keep thee safe, for thee He will provide;
Thy going out, thy coming in, forever He will guide. Amen.

The Benediction
May the blessing of light be on you-light without and light within. May the blessed sunlight shine on you and warm your heart ‘till it glows like a great peat fire, so that the stranger may come and warm himself at it, and also a friend. And may the light shine out of the two eyes of you, like a candle set in the window of a house, bidding of the wanderer to come in out of the storm. And now may the Lord bless you all, and bless you kindly. Amen.
Recession of pipes, tartans, dignitaries and clergy to the Cairn with the flower wreath.
The Lord bless and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
