Sasanach mn\u00e1 ba ea \u00ed, bunbhean l\u00edofa, taitneamhach, a d\u2019fhiafraigh go b\u00e9asach an mbeadh bricfeasta Sasanach agam?<\/span><\/p> \u2018Beidh, i nDomhnach\u2019, arsa mise, n\u00f3 bh\u00ed goile seachtar Albanach agam an mhaidin ch\u00e9anna sin. Cib\u00e9 faoi sin, thaitin an bricfeasta agus seanchas bhean an t\u00ed, liom.<\/span><\/p> Sa \u2018Stronlossit\u2019 d\u00fainn<\/span><\/p> Ar ais san \u00d3st\u00e1n \u2018Stronlossit\u2019, ligeamar \u00e1r sc\u00edth, l\u00e9amar scr\u00edobhamar, agus rinneamar dreas comhr\u00e1. Casadh seanph\u00e9ire Sasanach orainn, eisean ina ocht\u00f3id\u00ed, ise ina seacht\u00f3id\u00ed. Ar th\u00f3ir a \u00f3<\/span>ige, ar bhealach, a bh\u00ed seisean, n\u00f3 ba sa taobh sin t\u00edre a rinne s\u00e9 a thraen\u00e1il mh\u00edleata, breis agus tr\u00ed sc\u00f3r bliain roimhe sin! Ba ghreannmhar na sc\u00e9alta a bh\u00ed le r\u00edomh aige, ach mar a tharla\u00edonn go minic, ar \u00f3c\u00e1id\u00ed d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id, n\u00ed raibh an t-am le sp\u00e1r\u00e1il againne, le deis cheart a thabhairt d\u00f3 a chuid eachtra\u00ed a r\u00edomh d\u00fainn. D\u2019fh\u00e1gamar sl\u00e1n acu agus bhuaileamar b\u00f3thar, sa mhionbhus, i dtreo Inbhear \u00e1lainn Nis, tarraingt ar mhe\u00e1nlae.<\/span><\/p> \u00d3 thuaidh linnn, feadh Loch Lochy, ar dt\u00fas. Ar ball, chuamar tr\u00ed Fort Aug<\/span>ustus, agus ansin, ar feadh tarraingt ar uair a chloig, ghabhamar feadh bhruach Loch \u00e1lainn Nis. Choinnigh m\u00e9 s\u00fail, agus dh\u00e1 sh\u00fail, ar dhromhhla an locha sin, agus m\u00e9 ag s\u00fail go bhfaighinn spl\u00e9achadh ar Ollph\u00e9ist an Locha. Cheap m\u00e9 cupla babhta go raibh Ollph\u00e9ist Loch Nis ar t\u00ed a nochta dom, ach, n\u00ed h\u00e9 mo thuairim gurbh \u00ed a bh\u00ed ann!<\/span> <\/span><\/p> B\u2019iontach go deo na radharcanna a bh\u00ed leata os \u00e1r gcomhair amach.

N\u00ed raibh na sl\u00e9ibhte linn a thuilleadh, agus bh\u00ed talmha\u00edocht \u00e1 chelachtadh ar\u00eds! <\/span><\/p> Inbhear Nis<\/span><\/p> Inbhear Nis ar deireadh, thart ar a haon a chlog. Ph\u00e1irce\u00e1il Morag an mionbhus cois na habhann, agus amach linn ar fud na bhfud. D\u2019itheamar l\u00f3n in \u00d3st\u00e1n i l\u00e1r an bhaile, agus chaitheamar cupla uair an chloig ag siopad\u00f3ireacht. Ba ghlan, n\u00e9ata, dea-dheartha, an baile \u00e9, ach b\u2019\u00e9igean d\u00fainn aghaidh a thabhairt ar Aerfort Inbhear Nis, thart ar a tr\u00ed, n\u00f3 bh\u00ed orainn bualadh leis an gCornal \u00d3 N\u00e9ill ansin. Ar ar mbealach chun an Aerfoirt, chuamar thar l\u00e1thair Chath Chual Odar, a bh\u00ed i ngiorracht m\u00edle, n\u00f3 mar sin,<\/span> don bh\u00f3thar. Bhuail fonn cumha m\u00e9, n\u00f3 ar bhealach \u00e9igin, mhothaigh m\u00e9 uaf\u00e1s an \u00e1ir mh\u00eddhaonna, agus an tsl\u00e9achta gan tr\u00f3caire, a ndearnadh ansin, ar an 16\u00fa Aibre\u00e1n, 1746. Ba ansin, ar mhachaire an \u00e1ir, a tachtadh misneach agus f\u00eds na gClann, os comhair an tsaoil mh\u00f3ir, na Clanna sin, ar dhual d\u00f3ibh na cnoic agus na sl\u00e9ibhte a chleachtadh. <\/span><\/p> An Cornal linn, ar deireadh<\/span><\/p> Ag an Aerfort, d\u2019fh\u00e1ilt\u00edomar roimh an gCornal, faoi mar ba Albannaigh sinn! Ach, nach raibh tr\u00ed l\u00e1 fada caite againn sa t\u00edr \u00e1lainn sin, cheana f\u00e9in? Chun b\u00f3thair linn ar\u00eds, n\u00f3 bh\u00ed turas fada romhainn amach, turas a th\u00f3gfadh tarraingt ar thr\u00ed huaire a\u2019 chloig orainn. Ach, n\u00edor mhotha\u00edomar an t-am sin ag sleamhn\u00fa tharainn, n\u00f3 bh\u00ed seanchas le d\u00e9anamh, c\u00farsa\u00ed le c\u00edoradh, socruithe le cinnti\u00fa, ach thar aon rud eile, bh\u00ed radharcra le blaiseadh. Ba ghearr ar\u00eds gur slogadh sinn i mbolg na nGarbhchr\u00edocha. Ba \u00e9 an <\/span>rud ba mh\u00f3 a chuaigh i gcionn orm fh\u00e9in n\u00f3 a laghad daoine a bh\u00ed ag cur f\u00fathu sa t\u00edr \u00e1lainn, cnocach sin, t\u00edr gan chla\u00ed, gan f\u00e1l, gan sreang, gan chur; t\u00edr a bh\u00ed f\u00e1gtha faoi chaoirigh agus fhaoi fhianna. Rud <\/span>eile a thug m\u00e9 faoi deara, n\u00f3 feabhas na mb\u00f3ithre, fi\u00fa nuair a chuamar ar na fobh\u00f3ithre c\u00fanga, aonl\u00e1nacha. N\u00ed fh\u00e9adf\u00e1 locht a fh\u00e1il orthu, taobh amuigh d\u00e1 gc\u00fangacht. Ar deireadh, bhaineamar \u00e1r gceann scr\u00edbe, Pollhouse Hotel, amach, \u00e1it a mbeimis ag cur f\u00fainn go maidin D\u00e9 hAoine. \u00d3st\u00e1n deas, ci\u00fain, os <\/span>cionn na mara m\u00f3ire, \u00d3st\u00e1n a thaitin go m\u00f3r liom.
