Rosemary: Uill thagh mi seo, tha seo.... saoilidh mise gu bheil seo d矛reach ga mo tharraing air ais chun a鈥� chiad obair agam. 脌s d猫idh dhomh ceumnachadh bho Cholaiste Naomh Anndra mar thidsear, cha robh obraichean ri fhaighinn ann an Srath Chluaidh aig an 脿m, agus b鈥� fheudar dhomh a dhol far an robh obair, 鈥檚 chaidh mi s矛os, chuir mi romham gu robh mi a鈥� dol s矛os a Shasainn a th貌iseachadh a theagasg.

Agus feumaidh mi r脿dh gun do chuir mi seachad dh脿 no tr矛 bhliadhnaichean air leth sh矛os ann an Sasainn a鈥� teagasg ann am Forest Gate an taobh an ear de Lunainn aig 脿m a bha gu math gu math duilich ann an eachdraidh Lunainn; mar a bhios cuimhn鈥� agad Patsi, bha na Broadwater Farm Riots a鈥� dol aig an 脿m 鈥� sin agad nuair a chaidh am poileasman Blakelock a mharbhadh, agus bha mise an teis-meadhan mar gum biodh.

Bha mi ag obair dha comhairle far an robh Bernie Grant, aon dha na comhairlichean L脿barach a bha a鈥� bruidhinn a-mach as motha mu dheidhinn, mar gum biodh, an d貌igh anns an robhar a鈥� l脿imhseachadh na daoine dubha ann an Lunnainn, agus an str矛 a bha a鈥� dol aig an 脿m airson c貌raichean na h-脌isianaich agus na daoine dubha ann an Lunnainn, mar gum biodh, a dh矛on. So 鈥檚 e 脿m gu math doirbh a bh鈥� ann, ach aig a鈥� cheart 脿m, 鈥檚 e 脿m luma-l脿n de chothroman chionn, 鈥檚 e tha 鈥淪omewhere, Somewhere in Summertime鈥� a' toirt air ais gu mo chuimhne, an cothrom a fhuair mi a bhith an l脿thair aig Live Aid.听听

"Steach a Seo Sibh!"

Cho luath 鈥檚 a bhuaileas am maighstir-sgoile an clag, tha a鈥� chlann a鈥� cruinneachadh aig doras na sgoile. Tha iad a鈥� seasamh an sin gu socair, modhail, st貌lda, rianail, gus am faigh iad cead a dhol a-steach.

Tha seasgad 鈥檚 a ceithir anns an sgoil uile gu l猫ir, agus bidh iad a鈥� seasamh gu d矛reach, sgiobalta ann an ceithir sreathan aig an doras, sreath de bhalaich mh貌ra air l脿imh dheis a鈥� mhaighstir-sgoile, na balaich bheaga ri an taobh, agus d脿 shreath de nigheanan air an l脿imh chl矛. Tha M脿iri a-nis am measg nan caileagan m貌ra, agus is i fh猫in a tha moiteil! Ach cha bhi i idir air a d貌igh an uair a chanas Calum rithe, mar as tric a chanas 鈥� 鈥淭ha M脿iri againne cho m貌r - na beachd fh猫in!鈥�

An uair a bheir am maighstir-sgoile cead dhaibh, tha a鈥� chlann a鈥� coiseachd gu sunndach, sgiobalta a steach don sgoil, agus iad uile a鈥� d猫anamh modh ris anns an dol-seachad. Tha meas m貌r aca air Mgr. Mac an t-Saoir, agus tha iad gl猫 umhail dha.

Tha dithis eile a鈥� teagasg anns an sgoil, a鈥� bhana-sgoilear NicEachainn agus a鈥� bhana-sgoilear NicLe貌id. Tha mar sin tr矛 rumannan-teagaisg innte, agus timcheall air fichead, gillean agus caileagan, anns gach r霉m. Is ann aig a鈥� mhaighstir-sgoile a tha Calum, agus Niall cuideachd, ach cha do r脿inig M脿iri an inbhe sin fhathast, agus bidh ise aig a鈥� bhana-sgoilear NicLe貌id gus am bi i deich bliadhna a dh鈥檃ois.

Chan eil sgoil Choir an t-S矛thein air aon de na sgoiltean 霉ra, ach tha a鈥� chlann gl猫 thoilichte innte. Is math dhaibh nach ann o chionn trithead no ceathrad bliadhna a bha iad aois na sgoile.听 Bha na daoine an uair sin cho bochd agus gum bitheadh clann gu le貌r a鈥� dol don sgoil casruisgte, ged a bhitheadh s矛de gl猫 fhuar ann. Gheibh a鈥� chlann an-diugh am biadh anns an sgoil, ach cha bhitheadh aca an uair ud ach m矛r tioram. Tha teintean guail no teintean dealain anns na sgoiltean a-nis ach dh鈥� fheumadh a h-uile duine anns an latha bha siud f脿d m貌nadh a thoirt leis don sgoil a h-uile latha. Nach iongantach a bha iad be貌 idir!

12. Carson a bhitheas iad a鈥� d猫anamh seo?
13. Cia mheud r霉m-teagaisg a tha anns an sgoil?
14. Cuin a th猫id M脿iri do r霉m a鈥� mhaighstir-sgoile?
15. Carson a dh鈥檉haodas a鈥� chlann a bhith toilichte gu bheil iad anns an sgoil seo?

Maureen NicLe貌id: Aguis cia mheud duine a-r猫ist a bha sa Leper Colony a bha sin 鈥檚 a bha fuireach faisg air a sin, 鈥檚 a bha Moira a鈥� cuideachadh?

Alasdair Moireach: Bha c貌rr air ceud gu leth neach a鈥� fuireach ann agus bha diofar she貌rsaichean rudan ce脿rr orra; feadhainn dha na rudan a bh鈥� ann, bha iad anns an inntinn cuideachd 鈥檚 mathaid, chan e a-mh脿in anns a鈥� chorp aca. Agus bha Moira a鈥� dol a-mach aon uair san t-seachdain a choimhead air na daoine a dh鈥檉haicinn c貌 aig a bha feum air 鈥檚 mathaid rud beag a bharrachd frithealadh air neo 鈥檚 mathaid cobhair a thoirt dha na daoine a bha coimhead 脿s an d猫idh son bha dithis dhan an fheadhainn a bh鈥� ann, bha iad air beagan treanigeadh fhaighinn airson na bandages no na dressings l脿itheil.听

Tha d脿 bhaile ann an ceann a tuath na h-Alba, faisg air a ch猫ile. Tha iad le ch猫ile aig beul abhainn. Ann am Beurla 鈥檚 e fear dhiubh 鈥業nverness鈥�. 鈥橲 e am fear eile 鈥楴airn鈥�. Tuigidh sibh gu bheil 鈥業nver鈥� a鈥� ciallachadh 鈥榬iver mouth鈥� no 脿ite far a bheil d脿 abhainn a鈥� sruthadh na ch猫ile. Carson, ma-th脿, nach e 鈥業nvernairn鈥� a th鈥� air an d脿rna baile? Uill, 鈥檚 e 鈥業nvernairn鈥� a bha air a鈥� bhaile sin ann am Beurla 鈥� agus 鈥業nvernaren鈥� ann an Laidinn. Tha na h-ainmean sin a鈥� tighinn bhon Gh脿idhlig 鈥業nbhir Narann鈥� 鈥� no 鈥業nbhir Narann鈥� 鈥� ma tha sibh a鈥� fuaimneachadh a鈥� 鈥榖h鈥� mar 鈥榲鈥�.

Nuair a tha ainm-脿ite ann le 鈥榠nbhir鈥� no 鈥榠nbhir鈥�, gu math tric 鈥檚 e an d脿rna eileamaid ainm na h-aibhne. B鈥� e 鈥楴esa鈥� seann ainm na h-aibhne ann an Inbhir Nis. Tha Nis a鈥� ciallachadh 鈥榦f the Nesa鈥�. Inbhir Nis 鈥榯he mouth of the Nesa 鈥� no Ness ann am Beurla鈥�.

Tha an t-ainm 鈥楴arann鈥� 鈥� mar a tha 鈥楴esa鈥� 鈥� gu math sean. Tha Abhainn Narann a鈥� sruthadh tro Shrath Narann. Tha daoine air a bhith a鈥� fuireach ann an Srath Narann airson m矛ltean bhliadhnaichean. Tha gu le貌r de bhailtean eile ann an Srath Narann cuideachd 鈥� mar eisimpleir Deimhidh no Daviot. Tha Abhainn Narann a鈥� ruigsinn na mara aig Inbhir Narann. Agus aon phuing mu fhuaimneachadh ainm a鈥� bhaile. 鈥橲 e Inbhir Narann a th鈥� ann, chan e Inbhir Narainn. Baile Inbhir Narann. Tr脿igh Inbhir Narann. 脌ite math air latha bl脿th samhraidh!
