Ba iad na h\u00e1bhair a bh\u00edodh idir cham\u00e1in acu, de ghn\u00e1th, n\u00f3 na laethe a chaitheadar ag scl\u00e1bhaiocht, is ag n\u00e1bha\u00edocht, in Albain, agus ar bhain d\u00f3ibh, agus iad ina ndeoraithe i bhfad \u00f3 bhaile, sa t\u00edr eachtrannach sin.

Nuair a d\u2019\u00e9ag an fear saibhir sin \u00e1fach, sa bhliain 1695, thit na tailte uile sin, mar oidhreacht, ar a aonmhac, Sir Arthur Shaen, fear a chuir suim, sea, agus dh\u00e1 shuim, i bhforbairt na n-east\u00e1t \u00fad thiar.<\/span><\/p> Rinne s\u00e9 na heast\u00e1it sin a choil\u00edni\u00fa, agus bhunaigh s\u00e9 coil\u00edneacht sa Mhuirthead, \u00e1it ar shocraigh s\u00e9 bu\u00edon Sasanach, gona Ministir, an tUrramach <\/span>John Tollet.

N\u00ed raibh san \u00e1it an t-am sin ach riasc, n\u00f3 bh\u00ed leithinis an Mhuirthead ceangailte den t\u00edr mh\u00f3r an t-am sin, le cuing chaol talaimh. Chuir Sir Arthur daoine i mbun oibre, le can\u00e1il a ghearradh idir Inbhear M\u00f3r agus Cuan an Fh\u00f3id Duibh. Ba \u00e9 an t-ainm a baisteadh ar an ngearradh sin n\u00f3 \u201cShaen\u2019s Cut\u201d.

Faoin mbliain 1752 \u00e1fach, bh\u00ed drochbhail ar an gcan\u00e1il, ach bh\u00ed Sir Arthur fhein ag tabhairt an fh\u00e9ir, faoin am sin, n\u00f3 fuair s\u00e9 b\u00e1s, ar an 24 Meitheamh, sa bhliain 1724<\/span><\/p> N\u00ed raibh de shliocht ar Arthur Shaen ach beirt in\u00edon, agus ar ball, nuair a ph\u00f3s siad, thit east\u00e1it Shaen le John Bingham, agus le Henry Boyle Carter. Ba dhuine de shliocht Henry Boyle Carter a th\u00f3g baile Bh\u00e9al an Mhuirthead, nuair a d\u2019iarr s\u00e9 ar Patrick Knight, innealt\u00f3ir, pleananna do bhaile m\u00f3r Bh\u00e9al an Mhuirthead, a dhr\u00e9achtadh, sa bhlain 1824.
