D貌mhnall Iain D貌mhnallach: An-diugh, tha sinn air ar cuairteachadh leis an uair. Air c霉l ar d霉irn, air f貌naichean-l脿imhe, air clocaichean baile, aig st猫isean tre脿na, neo aig eaglais neo eile. Ach, c貌 ris a bhiodh e coltach a bhith an 脿ite is gun ionnsramaid agad a dh鈥檌nnseadh an uair dhut? Innsidh an t-Urramach Ruairidh MacLe貌id an sgeul fh猫in.

Ruairidh: Tha e iongantach mar a tha sinn a鈥� crochadh air an uair airson ar n-obair. Tha cuimhn' a鈥檓 turas, bha mi fh猫in is dithis eile a鈥� fuireach c貌mhla ann an D霉n 脠ideann nuair a bha mi nam oileanach, agus chaidh mise s矛os l脿thaichean na bu tr脿ithe, agus cha robh r猫idio agam is cha robh uaireadair agam.

Agus a鈥� chiad mhadainn, bha mi airson a dhol a-steach dhan leabharlann. Agus sgioblaich mi is chaidh mi air a鈥� bhus. Chunnaic mi clann-sgoile air a鈥� bhus, is bha mi ag r脿dh, 鈥淯ill, feumaidh gu bheil an uair seo ceart.鈥�

R脿inig mi an cloc m貌r aig st猫isean Haymarket. Bha e cairteal gu naoi sa mhadainn, is bha sin gl猫 mhath.

An ath latha, rinn mi an aon rud a-rithist. Bha clann-sgoile air a鈥� bhus, is bha mi ag r脿dh, 鈥淥h uill, dh鈥檃mais mi air an uair gl猫 mhath.鈥� Ach nuair a r脿inig mi Haymarket, bha e cairteal an d猫idh uair. 鈥橲 ann a鈥� dol dhachaigh gu d矛nnear a bha iad! Agus tha e a鈥� sealltainn cho doirbh 鈥檚 a tha e mura h-eil uaireadair againn. Tha mi a鈥� creidsinn gun robh ar sinnsearan a thaobh na gr猫ine is rudan eile, bha iad m貌ran na bu ghlice na tha sinne an-diugh, ach tha e a鈥� sealltainn mar a tha sinn a鈥� crochadh air uaireadairean.

Mary Bell Nic a' Bhreatannaich a' c貌mhradh ri Coinneach MacFhionghain, Katy Dh霉ghlas agus Calum MacN猫ill

Coinneach: Tha sinne fortanach ann a seo, tha deagh n脿baidhean againn, agus daoine coibhneil, ionnsaichte, foghlamaichte, 鈥檚 e sin na h-Uibhistich. Agus chan eil sg脿than cho math ri s霉il caraid. Agus nuair a tha na h-Uibhistich a鈥� coimhead rinn, an c貌mhradh aca rinn, 鈥檚 e mar a chanas iad fh猫in, 鈥渁 bhruidhinn Bharrach.鈥�

Mary Bell: Seadh.

Coinneach: Agus aithnichidh iadsan Barraich. Ach rudan nach eil fios aig na h-Uibhistich, tha d脿 she貌rsa bhruidhinn Bharrach ann. Chan eil fhios a鈥檓... bidh fios aig Calum mu dheidhinn seo.

Ceitidh: Tha.

Coinneach: Tha rud ris an can iad Mairianna Line a tha eadar Breibhig agus Tangasdal. Agus tuath... tuath air a sin, tha mar 鈥淢aisi-Anna鈥�, agus deas tha 鈥淢airianna鈥� gu math tric. Nist鈥�, dh鈥檉haodainn-sa faighneachd do Chalum an-dr脿sta...

Mary Bell: Tha, mar a tha M脿iri aig tuath, M脿isi aig deas.

Ceitidh: Tha an aon rud nuair a bha sinne a鈥� dol... bha mise a鈥� dol gu Sgoil Bh脿gh a鈥� Chaisteil, dh鈥檃ithneachadh tu na Tuathaich seach na Deasaich air... air a鈥� bruidhinn. Chanadh na Tuathaich 鈥渟agart鈥�, ach chanadh sinne 鈥渟agast.鈥�

Mary Bell: 鈥橲 e.

Ceitidh: Fhios agad, bha... bha diofar... bha diofar sa Gh脿idhlig.听 Chan eil iad an-diugh ga bruidhinn mar a bha sinne ga bruidhinn.

Mary Bell: O chan eil.

Coinneach: Faighnichidh mise do Chalum a-nist鈥� 鈥� can a Chaluim, as mo dh猫idh, can, 鈥淐uir air an coire a Mh脿irianna鈥�, agus canaidh... chanadh Calum 鈥� tha e air a n脿rachadh a-nise is cha chan 鈥� 鈥淐uis鈥� air a鈥� choise Mh脿isi-Anna鈥�. (鈥渃uir air a鈥� choire, a Mh脿irianna鈥�)

Calum: Aidh, sin agad mar a chanadh sinn e mura bhiodh sinn a鈥� toirt for de bha sinn ag r脿dh. Ach, tha d貌igh eile air an aithneachadh tu na Tuathaich nuair a bha sinne san sgoil 鈥� ah, bhiodh iad 鈥� bhiodh coineanaich aca fon seacaid. (a鈥� gaireachdainn) Bhiodh iad a鈥� reic anns a鈥� chloakroom!听听

Mary Bell: A Chaluim, chan eil mise a鈥� dol an s脿s anns a seo idir air t-s脿illeibh... air t-s脿illeibh tha p矛os... p矛os dh矛omsa aig deas, agus p矛os aig tuath!听

Calum: Tha an t-eagal ort!听

Ghabh Slim leithid de dh鈥檈agal 鈥檚 gun do thuit e gun mhothachadh chun an l脿ir mar gum biodh peilear air a bhualadh. Bha e mar sin airson mionaid no dh脿 gus na th貌isich e air tighinn mun cuairt. 鈥橲 e a鈥� chiad smuain a th脿inig thuige gur ann ag aisling a bha e no gun robh e a鈥� dol 脿s a chiall. Chaidh e a-null gu sg脿than a bha mar ph脿irt dhen bhalla agus thug e s霉il air fh猫in. Bha e cho spaideil, seang 鈥檚 a bha e riamh ach bha aodann air a dhol cho geal ris an anart. Chuala e an guth a-rithist, air a鈥� ch霉laibh an triop seo, a鈥� tighinn bhon chlaigeann.

鈥淎 Mhgr Fairly, feumaidh tu mo thiodhlachadh.鈥�

An ann a鈥� dol 脿s a chiall a bha e? Bha fios aige gum biodh daoine a bha dol 脿s an ciall a鈥� cluinntinn ghuthan. Cha robh creideamh sam bith aige ann an spiorad no ann an anam. Cha robh ann ach an rud a bha fa chomhair do sh霉il 鈥� agus a鈥� mhargaid, agus reic agus ceannach.

Chaidh e a-null air a shocair chun a鈥� bh霉ird agus shuidh e s矛os mu choinneamh a鈥� chlaiginn. Th脿inig an guth a-rithist, guth f矛reannach 貌ig.

鈥淭huirt mi riut, a Mhgr Fairly, gum feum thu mo thiodhlachadh. Gheibh thu mo chlaigeann o Mhgr Hirst agus cuiridh tu na fiaclan agam c貌mhla ri mo chlaigeann.鈥�

Bha Slim air chrith. Bha a鈥� bheul tioram. Cha b鈥� urrainn dha smaoineachadh ceart. Claigeann a鈥� bruidhinn 鈥� bha seo g貌rach. Ach chluicheadh e an g猫am, mas e g猫am a bha inntinn a鈥� cluiche leis.

鈥淐貌 thu?鈥� dh鈥檉he貌irich e ann an guth critheanach.

Th脿inig an guth a-rithist bhon bheul, ged nach robh am beul a鈥� gluasad, 鈥淚s mise Ruairidh MacN猫ill, br脿thair MacN猫ill Bharraigh. Chaidh mo mharbhadh ann an 1440 leis a鈥� Ghille Riabhach aig Bealach na Foille ann an Colla far a bheil mo chn脿mhan nan laighe gus an latha an-diugh.鈥�

鈥淎ch tha iad ag r脿dh gu bheil an claigeann bhon ochdamh linn deug.鈥�

鈥淐han eil e貌laichean an-c貌mhnaidh ceart.鈥�

鈥淐han eil. Carson a chaidh do mharbhadh?鈥�

鈥淏ha bl脿r ann eadar sinne is Iain Garbh. Thug An Gille Riabhach an ceann dh矛om. Tiodhlaic mo chlaigeann agus m鈥� fhiaclan aig Bealach na Foille ann an Colla 鈥� no bidh ceannach agad air.鈥�

鈥淐arson a tha thu ag iarraidh do thiodhlachadh?鈥�

Chuir e a鈥� cheist ach cha robh freagairt ann. Chuir e ceistean a-rithist, agus a-rithist, ach cha t脿inig aon fhacal an c貌rr. Th貌isich an t-eagal a鈥� traoghadh beagan, 鈥檚 mar a th脿inig a mhisneachd air ais beag air bheag, thuirt e ris fh猫in nach robh ann ach mac-meanmna. 鈥橲 d貌cha a鈥� faighinn rud cho annasach airson a鈥� chiad uair.听
