Gilleasbuig MacDh貌mhnaill

Catr矛ona : Air an ochdamh latha den Fhaoilleach 1916, chaidh na saighdearan Breatannach mu dheireadh, mu sheachd m矛le deug dhiubh, a thoirt a-mach 脿 Helles an Gallipoli.听

Gilleasbuig : Bha na Frangaich mu dheireadh air falbh lathaichean ron a sin. Bha na Tuircich air feuchainn air na Breatannaich an latha mus do dh鈥檉halbh iad, ach bha gu le貌r dhe na Tuircich nach d鈥� th脿inig a-mach 脿s na trainnsichean agus fios aca gu robh Breatannaich a鈥� f脿gail a dh鈥檃ithghe脿rr.听

Ann am beagan is seachdain, chaidh c貌ig m矛le deug thar fhichead saighdear, corr air ceud gunna is tr矛 cheud carbad, m矛le gu leth tunna de st貌ras eile agus faisg air tr矛 m矛le gu leth beathach eich agus mule a thoirt a-mach 脿 Helles.听

Chaidh cur 脿s do ch貌rr is c貌ig cheud beathach.

鈥淎on Char Eile鈥�

Tha obair na m貌nadh a鈥� cumail ri Seumas agus ri M貌raig bho dheireadh an Earraich gu meadhan an t-Samhraidh. Is math dhaibh gu bheil Calum cho l脿idir, agus gu bheil e cho 猫asgaidh agus cho de貌nach gus cuideachadh a thoirt dhaibh a h-uile uair a bhitheas e saor bho obair na sgoile.

Is ainneamh latha mun 脿m seo den bhliadhna nach bi Seumas ag obair 鈥渕ar an t-each鈥�, mar a thuirt e fh猫in ri a charaid, Iain Ruadh, a tha a鈥� fuireach ri an taobh. Ged nach bitheadh an urra ris ach obair na m貌nadh, cha bu bheag an t-uallach sin fh猫in; ach cha mh貌r gum bi a鈥� chruach-mh貌nadh air a d霉nadh an uair a dh鈥檉heumas e an speal a gheurachadh, agus t貌iseachadh air gearradh an fhe貌ir. Tha feadhainn anns an sg矛re a n矛 an tractar seo dhaibh cuideachd. Cha do chuir Iain Ruadh l脿mh air speal bho chionn ceithir bliadhna; ach cha bhi Seumas a鈥� feitheamh ri tractar no rud eile 鈥� 鈥淔eumaidh sinn an latha math a ghabhail an uair a thig e鈥�, bidh esan ag r脿dh.

Ma gheibh iad deagh sh矛de, cha bhi muinntir Sheumais fada ris an fheur. Tha iomadh car ri chur dheth mus fhaighear anns na cruachan e, ach chan eil iodhlann anns an sg矛re a bhitheas l脿n nas luaithe na iodhlann Sheumais. Tha iad fh猫in l脿idir, inntinneach, agus cha robh eagal air duine aca riamh ro obair chruaidh.

Is e 鈥渟amhradh breac riabhach鈥� as trice tha ann an sg矛re Lag na Coille, mar a tha e anns na h-Eileanan an Iar air fad, agus mar sin chan eil e furasta am feur a dh猫anamh tioram agus caoin a h-uile bliadhna. Feumar aideachadh gum bi Calum seachd searbh den ch霉is an uair a bhitheas an t-s矛de fliuch, agus gum bi fadachd air an uair sin gus am faigh e gu muir, agus gus an ruig e na t矛rean fad 脿s, far nach eil feur ri thiormachadh agus far nach eil droch sh矛de a鈥� cur dragh air duine bho cheann gu ceann den bhliadhna. Cha leig e dad air ri athair, oir tha fios is cinnt aige nach canadh am fear sin ach rudeigin mar seo:

鈥淚s ann a tha thu ri gl霉in do mh脿thar, a charaid. Is mise bha thall 鈥檚 a chunnaic."

D貌mhnall: Fear dhe na craobhan as cudromaiche ann am beatha nan G脿idheal, 鈥檚 e an darach 鈥檚 tha sin air a鈥� l脿imh cheart ann a sheo. Tha an darach uabhasach, uabhasach cudromach air sg脿th 鈥檚 gu robh i air a faicinn mar am pr矛omh chraobh a tha anns a鈥� ph脿irt seo dhen t-saoghal.听

Bha daoine a鈥� coimhead air an darach mar chraobh a bha faisg air na Diathan a bh鈥� aca ro 脿m Chr矛osdaidh, agus gu math tric, bha i air a cleachdadh airson a bhith snaigh iodhalan-adhraidh agus bhiodh i air a cleachdadh airson a bhith lasadh teinntean no teinnean a bha cudromach a thaobh an creideamh aca.

Agus bha cuideachd, bha na G脿idheil a鈥� coimhead, bha iad a鈥� cur tr矛 diofar se貌rsaichean no tr矛 diofar sreathan de chraobhan ann agus na pr矛omh chraobhan mar a chanadh iad, 鈥檚 e an darach an t猫 a bu chudromaiche dhiubh, agus bha craobhan eile mar gum biodh anns an darna sreath agus an uair sin craobhan nach robh iad a鈥� saoilsinn m貌ran idir dhiubh. Ach bha an darach, bha i cho cudromach ri craobh sam bith a th鈥� againn.听听

Tha coin air an ainmeachadh gu tric air mapaichean na G脿idhealtachd. Ach na coimheadaibh airson an fhacail 鈥榗霉鈥�. Chan eil e ann. Gheibh sibh e, ge-t脿, le riochd eadar-dhealaichte air 鈥� a鈥� choin 鈥榦f the dog鈥� 鈥� a鈥� choin. No nan con 鈥� 鈥榦f the dogs鈥� 鈥� nan con.

Tha Loch a鈥� Choin Bh脿in 鈥� the loch of the white dog 鈥� faisg air Ceann Loch I霉 鈥� Loch a鈥� Choin Bh脿in. Agus tha allt gu h-脿rd anns a鈥� Mhonadh Ruadh 鈥� the Cairngorms. 鈥橲 e an t-ainm air Uisge Dubh Poll a鈥� Choin 鈥� the dark stream of the bogland of the dog 鈥� Uisge Dubh Poll a鈥� Choin.

Ann am Morbhairne, tha Caisteal nan Con 鈥� the castle of the dogs 鈥� Caisteal nan Con. Tha Coire nan Con faisg air Loch Seile 鈥� the corrie of the dogs. Agus ann an D霉thaich MhicAoidh 鈥� north Sutherland 鈥� tha 脵idh nan Con Luatha 鈥� 鈥榯he stream of the swift dogs鈥� 鈥� 脵idh nan Con Luatha.

Carson a tha coin air an ainmeachadh cho tric air a鈥� mhapa? Uill, bha iad cudromach ann an sealg. Agus bha iad cudromach ann am beul-aithris. Mar eisimpleir, bha Bran, an c霉 aig Fionn MacCumhail, ainmeil am measg nan G脿idheal. Agus tha aon rud anns a鈥� chumantas eadar Bran agus an c霉 agam fh矛n. Cha do thuig iad facal dhen Bheurla!
