Bha Nachlan cli霉mhor anns an sg矛re sin. Sh脿bhail e na daoine an sin bho phl脿igh. Rinn e sin le bhith a鈥� cuairteachadh na paraiste air a ghl霉inean.

Ach tha na ceanglaichean aige don Tulaich nas l脿idire. Ann an c貌ig ceud deug, ceathrad 鈥檚 a h-aon (1541), st猫idhich Righ Seumas V f猫ill do Nachlan. Bha sin air an ochdamh l脿 dhen Fhaoilleach anns an Tulaich.

Did貌mhnaich a bha seo, bha f矛or dhroch sh矛de ann. Bha am ministear dhen bheachd nach biodh coitheanal ann. Bha e a鈥� smaoineachadh gum biodh a h-uile duine a鈥� fuireach aig an taigh. Dh鈥檉huirich esan sa mhansa. Cha deach e don eaglais.

Ach chaidh gu le貌r eile don eaglais. Bha iad a鈥� feitheamh ris a鈥� mhinistear. Ach cha t脿inig e. Bha i eagallach fuar anns an eaglais. Chaidh bonaid timcheall airson airgead. Chaidh feadhainn de na gillean s矛os an rathad gu taigh-seinnse. Thug iad uisge-beatha air ais don eaglais. Thug iad f矛dhlear cuideachd.

Th貌isich feadhainn air dannsadh san eaglais. Bha port 霉r aig an fh矛dhlear. Agus bha dannsa 霉r aig na daoine. 鈥橲 e an t-ainm a th鈥� air a鈥� phort 鈥淩uidhle an Tulaich鈥� 鈥� the Reel of Tulloch 鈥� agus 鈥檚 ann mar sin a th貌isich e.
