Tha e a鈥� t貌iseachadh, 鈥淥ch, a The脿rlaich 脪ig Sti霉bhairt, 鈥檚 e do ch霉is [a] rinn mo l猫ireadh鈥︹�� 鈥橲 e Te脿rlach 脪g Sti霉bhart a鈥� Gh脿idhlig air Bonnie Prince Charlie. Te脿rlach 脪g Sti霉bhart.

鈥橲 e boireannach a sgr矛obh an t-貌ran. 鈥橲 e an t-ainm a bh鈥� oirre Cairist矛ona NicFhearghais. 鈥橲 e 貌ran-gaoil a th鈥� anns an 貌ran. Tha e cuideachd a鈥� cur an aghaidh cogadh. Bha Cairist矛ona br貌nach oir chaill i an duine aice aig Bl脿r Ch霉il Lodair. 鈥橲 e an t-ainm a bh鈥� air an duine aice Uilleam Siosalach. Bha gaol m貌r aig Cairist矛ona air Uilleam. Sgr矛obh i, 鈥渂ha do shlios mar an eala, 鈥檚 blas na meal鈥� air do ph貌gan.鈥� Bha do shlios mar an eala, 鈥檚 blas na meal鈥� air do ph貌gan.鈥� Tha i a鈥� moladh Uilleim gu m貌r.

Ach bha Cairist矛ona feargach cuideachd. Bha faclan cruaidh aice do The脿rlach 脪g. Seo na ciad cheithir loidhnichean dhen 貌ran:

Bhuineadh Cairist矛ona do Chunndainn ann an Siorrachd Rois. Bha a h-athair na ghobha. A r猫ir aithris, bha Uilleam Siosalach 脿 Srath Ghlais 鈥� d霉thaich nan Siosalach. Bha e a鈥� cumail bratach nan Siosalach aig Bl脿r Ch霉il Lodair. Bha e calma. Lean e air a鈥� sabaid, nuair a bha cuid de na saighdearan Seumasach a鈥� teicheadh lem beatha.

Tha a bhanntrach ag r脿dh anns an 貌ran, 鈥淐ha do sheas an C霉il Lodair fear do choltais [a] bu tr猫ine, mo r霉n geal 貌g.鈥�

Bha Uilleam treun, ach chaill e a bheatha. Mharbh na saighdearan dearga e. Chuir iad seachd peilearan ann.

鈥橲 e gnothach uabhasach a bh鈥� ann, gun teagamh. Cha t脿inig m貌ran math 脿s. Ach th脿inig 貌ran math 脿s. Mo R霉n Geal 脪g.
