Shona: Mar a thuirt mi cheana, cha t猫id againn air d矛ochuimhneachadh a鈥� bhuaidh a bh鈥� aig cogadh air na boireannaich agus mar a dh鈥檉huiling iadsan ri linn.听

Fhuair Peigi Nic脤omhair 脿 Borgh, Le貌dhas, buille chruaidh nuair a chaidh an duine aice, Iain, a chall air HMS Main anns an D脿mhair naoi ceud deug agus a seachd-deug. Chuir i cumha pongail ri ch猫ile far an do dh鈥檃inmich i mar a chuir i seachad geamhradh air leth doirbh an d猫idh dhi an duin鈥� aice a chall, gun iad ach gl猫 bheag de dh鈥櫭筰ne fhaighinn p貌sta, mus deach e a shabaid.听

Ged a tha sinn air t貌rr de na rudan a dh鈥檃inmich i a chluinntinn ann an iomadach cumha roimhe 鈥� cho measail 鈥檚 a bha daoine air an fhear a chaochail agus mar a chaidh a gruag a liathadh 鈥� tha guth pearsanta, br貌nach a鈥� tighinn troimhe, agus mar a bha aig iomadh banntrach eile, tha e furasta chreidsinn gun robh geamhradh air leth dorcha aice an d猫idh dhi an duin鈥� aice a chall san D脿mhair.听

A' Gearradh Leum 鈥檚 a鈥� S矛nteag! 1

B鈥� fhurasta aithneachadh gu robh rudeigin air aire na cloinne ann an sgoil Choir an t-S矛thein Dihaoine sa chaidh, an t-ochdamh latha deug den 脪gmhios. Chan ann tric nach eil iad seo gu math st貌lda, modhail - 鈥檚 e sin fhad 鈥檚 a tha iad air taobh a-staigh na sgoile; ach cha robh s霉il aig duine gum bitheadh iad mar sin an latha bha seo. D猫 bha dol a bhith aca am feasgar sin ach 鈥渃leasan, a charaid鈥� mar a thuirt Niall. Cha robh duine anns an sgoil air fad, on fheadhainn a b鈥� 貌ige gus an fheadhainn bu shine, a bha cho d猫idheil air an sgoil an latha ud 鈥檚 a bha esan.

Is iomadh balach agus nighean a bha a鈥� smaoineachadh agus a鈥� bruidhinn air na cleasan deagh ghreis mus t脿inig an latha m貌r, oir bha iad uile air an togail riutha, agus gu le貌r dhiubh ag ullachadh air an son cuideachd. Tha corra latha nis on th貌isich M脿iri agus a banacharaid, Iseabail Chaimbeul, a鈥� ruideas agus a鈥� ruagail air feadh nam bailtean, is na casan aca air an ceangal ri ch猫ile le crios no ribean.

鈥淣ach seall thus air an dithis tha siud鈥�, ars 脵isdean, br脿thair Iseabail, ri Calum, 鈥渘ach saoil thu gur e paidhir each a tha annta, a鈥� dol a threabhadh iomaire bhunt脿ta? Ach gu d猫 riamh a tha fa-near dhaibh?鈥�

鈥淕u d猫 tha ach an r猫is thr矛-chasach, a bhalaich鈥�, fhreagair Calum, 鈥渕as fh矛or gu faigh iadsan duais. Tha iad tuilleadh is slaodach, cliobach!鈥�

Cha robh duine nach robh air an uair latha nan cleasan. Cha bhitheadh na bodaich fh猫in na bu tr脿ithe an latha bhitheas iad a鈥� faighinn a鈥� pheinnsein. Bha Niall fh猫in na sheasamh aig doras na sgoile aig cairteal an d猫idh naoi, agus ceud cabhag air gus am faigheadh iad a鈥� mhadainn seachad agus gus an t貌isicheadh a鈥� chluiche agus a鈥� ch貌mhstri.

Taighean-seinnse Uibhist

Iain: Alasdair, bha thusa na b鈥� fhaisg air fear dhe na taighean-seinnse gu h-脿raid, nach robh?

Alasdair: O bha, bha, bha. Bha mi siud. Cha robh mi ach mu mh矛le 脿 Westford. Agus cha shaoileadh duine dad an uair sin agus coiseachd an sin grunn oidhche san t-seachdain.

Ach 鈥檚 e 脿ite.... 脿ite math, 脿ite c猫ilidh, 's e d矛reach.... t貌rr bhodaich ann agus tha mise a鈥� caoidh nach do dh鈥櫭╥st mi ri barrachd.

Gnothaichean dhen t-se貌rsa sin, bha.

Mar a tha an-diugh, gheibh thu forecast air an telebhisean, gheibh thu tr矛 diofar channels, agus chan e an aon forecast a th' aig gin aca. Uill sin mar a bha na bodaich.听

Tha d脿 bheinn ri taobh a ch猫ile ann an D霉n Phris is Gall-Gh脿idhealaibh air a bheil Meikle Mulltaggart agus Little Mulltaggart. Tha iad faisg air Bail鈥� 脵r nan Sti霉bhartach, Newton Stewart. Tha Mulltaggart a鈥� tighinn bhon Gh脿idhlig, Maol an t-Sagairt no 鈥檚 d貌cha Meall an t-Sagairt 鈥榯he hill of the priest鈥�.
