Calum Cille agus an Tr\u00e0illeag <\/div><\/body><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/body>\n
\n
\n
Air cnoc faisg air far a bheil Inbhir Nis an-diugh bha d\u00f9n – d\u00f9n Bhruid, an R\u00ecgh Cruithneach. Bha nighean-tr\u00e0ille \u00c8ireannach, a chaidh a ghlacadh ann an ionnsaigh, aig oide Bhruid, draoidh dom b\u2019 ainm Broichan.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>\n\n
\n
Aon uair, nuair a bha e a\u2019 tadhal air an r\u00ecgh, chunnaic Calum Cille am boireannach \u00f2g agus dh\u2019iarr e air Broichan truas a ghabhail rithe – gun a bhith ga faicinn mar thr\u00e0ill ach mar cho-chreutair agus a leigeil ma sgaoil. Ach bha cridhe Bhroichan air a shuidheachadh gu cruaidh mar chloich.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMura leig thu ma sgaoil i,\u201d thug Calum Cille rabhadh, \u201ccha mhair thu fada be\u00f2 fhad \u2019s a bhios mi ann am T\u00ecr nan Cruithneach.\u201d<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>
\n
An uair sin chaidh Calum Cille s\u00ecos chun na h-aibhne gus tilleadh dhachaigh. Goirid \u00e0s d\u00e8idh sin ghabh Broichan gr\u00e8im, \u2019s a l\u00e0mh a\u2019 briseadh a ghlainne \u00f2il. Bha e a\u2019 str\u00ec ri anail agus bha e faisg air a\u2019 bh\u00e0s. Chuir an r\u00ecgh dithis theachdairean \u00e0s d\u00e8idh Chaluim Chille, ag r\u00e0dh gun leigeadh Broichan an tr\u00e0ill ma sgaoil, agus ghuidh e airson cuideachadh.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>
\n
Nuair a lorg iad Calum Cille, thog e clach gheal bhon tr\u00e0igh agus thuirt e: <\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>
\n
\u201cCuir a\u2019 chlach seo ann an uisge agus an uair sin iarr air Broichan \u00f2l.”<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>
\n
Rinn iad mar a thuirt e. Cha b\u2019 urrainn do dhuine sam bith a chreidsinn ach bha a\u2019 chlach a\u2019 flodradh air an uachdar mar ubhal. An uairsin dh\u2019\u00f2l Broichan agus fhuair e seachad air.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>
\n
Is d\u00f2cha gun robh fios aig Calum Cille air rud no dh\u00e0 mu chloich shligeirt – agus saidhg-e\u00f2las!<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>\n

Bha Eithne na bean-uasal \u00f2g \u00c8ireannach. Anns a\u2019 gheamhradh 521, bha i trom leis a\u2019 chiad leanabh aice \u2013 r\u00f9n-d\u00ecomhair a bha i a\u2019 st\u00f2rach na cridhe. Mar bhoireannach le \u00f9ine a\u2019 ch\u00f2rr bhiodh i na suidhe ri taobh an teallaich bhl\u00e0th a\u2019 fuaigheal no a\u2019 fighe mar a thogradh i.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Aon fheasgar thuit Eithne na cadal agus bha i a\u2019 bruadar mu she\u00e0la cl\u00f2imhe br\u00e8agha \u00e0s an robh f\u00e0ileadh cl\u00f2imh uain agus bainne milis. An aghaidh a h-aodainn bha e a\u2019 faireachdainn cho bog agus cho bl\u00e0th ri cluaran.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>

B\u2019 e a\u2019 mhachaire ghorm, le dathan de sheamraig is seib, lus-cr\u00e8 agus ne\u00f2inean, fillidhean a\u2019 chle\u00f2ca. Shiab an t-se\u00e0la agus mar sin dh’fheuch i ri a tarraing na b\u2019 fhaisge ach an \u00e0ite sin chaidh i na b\u2019 fhaide air falbh! Dh\u2019fhosgail i anns a\u2019 ghaoith agus dh\u2019fhalbh i na b\u2019 fhaide na ruigeadh i thairis air na beanntan agus eadhon thairis air a\u2019 chuan.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>

Dh\u00f9isg Eithne gu h-obann, ann an tuaineal, l\u00e8ir-sgrioste, \u00e0s eugmhais.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>

Bha fios aice sa bhad d\u00e8 a dh\u2019innis am bruadar seo dhi. Is e imcheist a h-uile m\u00e0thair.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>

Bhiodh a ciad-ghin air a chumail air falbh bhuaipe le ministrealachdan coibhneis a\u2019 bhoireannaich-cobhair. An uair sin, aig aois c\u00f2ig bliadhna, rachadh e gu \u00e0ite ionnsachaidh c\u00f2mhla ri a ghoistidh, mar a bha an cleachdadh aig an \u00e0m. Nas fhaide air adhart, choileanadh Calum Cille d\u00e0n m\u00f2r mar inbheach, ach fada air falbh bhuaipe.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>\n

Agus chan eil tr\u00e0ighean Eilean \u00cc eadar-dhealaichte. Bidh iad ag innse mu chreagan a chaidh a chruthachadh ann an teine is dorchadas, anns an \u00e0m mus do th\u00f2isich sgeulachdan. De ghainmhich air a dath dearg le lannan fuilteach nan Lochlannach. De na h-uisgeachan agus na long-bhrisidhean a bhris iomadh cridhe m\u00e0thar. Ach bidh iad cuideachd ag innse mu rudan nas coibhneile – aoigheachd sh\u00ecmplidh, fhosgailte do choigrich agus do charaidean.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>

Air tr\u00e0igh aig a\u2019 cheann a deas shlaod Calum Cille agus a dhusan companach sg\u00ecth an curach \u00e0s a\u2019 mhuir chun dachaigh \u00f9r aca. Chunnaic tr\u00e0igh chun an ear am manachainn beag aca ag \u00e8irigh a-mach \u00e0s a\u2019 chreig agus an fh\u00f2id a bha faisg air l\u00e0imh, gus f\u00e0ilte a chur air taistealaich, luchd-tuatha agus eadhon r\u00ecghrean anns na bliadhnaichean ri teachd.

Shuidh am manach \u00f2g air oir na machaire gainmhich. Tharraing e an t-\u00e8ideadh cl\u00f2imhe garbh aige gu teann an aghaidh na gaoithe bioraiche. Bha c\u00f2ir aige a bhith a\u2019 coimhead a-mach gu muir ach b\u2019 e meadhan an fheasgair a bh\u2019 ann agus bha e air a bhith ann airson uairean a th\u00ecde. Bha na tonnan le mullach geal agus na sg\u00f2than dorcha, br\u00f9ideil a\u2019 s\u00ecneadh chun na f\u00e0ire agus nas fhaide air falbh – is d\u00f2cha cho fada ri \u00c8irinn. Thog e d\u00ecthean beag buidhe bhon fheur aig a chasan, feur a bha air a lomadh leis a\u2019 ghaoith, agus smaoinich e air an t-seann dachaigh aige, a mh\u00e0thair\u2026 agus nighean air an robh e e\u00f2lach uaireigin.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>

\u2018Agus na bi a\u2019 call do shuim ann am bruadar, Fhionn.\u2019 Nuair a bha Calum Cille air na h-\u00f2rdughan aige a thoirt dha air a\u2019 mhadainn sin, bha na s\u00f9ilean biorach air am pronnadh ann am gruaim, ach bha fios aig Fionn c\u00e0ite an lorgadh e an t-sradag ann an s\u00f9ilean an t-seann duine. \u2018Coimhead. Coimhead agus d\u00e8an \u00f9rnaigh.\u2019 Cha robh an guth l\u00e0idir a-riamh fada bho bhith a\u2019 tionndadh gu \u00f2ran.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>
\n
Choimhead Fionn suas. Bha cumadh fada, liath a\u2019 gluasad \u00ecosal os cionn nan tonn. Eun? A chorra-ghritheach? An e seo an aoigh sh\u00f2nraichte air an robh Calum Cille air iarraidh air coimhead air a shon? Bha an g\u00e8ile a\u2019 bualadh oirre, a\u2019 reubadh a sgiathan. Th\u00e0ining meall eile d\u00ecreach air a\u2019 chorra-ghrithich, ga sparradh nas fhaide bhon chladach. Leum Fionn gu a chasan agus ruith e thairis air an tr\u00e0igh gu oir an uisge, a\u2019 guidhe gum faigheadh an t-eun gu s\u00e0bhailteachd. \u2018O Thighearna, d\u00econ do sheirbheiseach.\u2019 Shocraich a\u2019 ghaoth f\u00ecor bheagan. Agus an uair sin – brag – bhuail a\u2019 chorra-ghritheach ann fh\u00e8in, ga ghlacadh gun chothromachadh, agus thuit an d\u00e0 chuid am manach agus an t-eun a-steach don ghainmhich fhliuch.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>

\u2018Beannachdan, a charaid.\u2019 Sh\u00ecn Fionn l\u00e0mh a-mach gu slaodach. Bha a\u2019 chorra-ghritheach a\u2019 str\u00ec ri faighinn air falbh ach cha robh m\u00ecr de neart air fh\u00e0gail. \u2018Is d\u00f2cha gun t\u00e0inig thu \u00e0s an t-seann dachaigh agam,\u2019 rinn Fionn g\u00e0ire bhl\u00e0th. \u2018Ach chan eil e gu diofar. Ge bith c\u00e0ite a bheil an dachaigh agad, tha f\u00e0ilte ort an seo. \u2019An do thuig an t-eun? Cha robh e cinnteach, ach chuir an t-aoigh s\u00f2nraichte a cheann air casan cuaranach Fhinn agus dh\u00f9in e a sh\u00f9ilean.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>

Tr\u00ec latha \u00e0s d\u00e8idh sin, bha Fionn air ais air an tr\u00e0igh. Bha a\u2019 chorra-ghritheach, l\u00e0idir agus sl\u00e0n, na laighe gu socair na gh\u00e0irdeanan fhad \u2019s a bha e ga sl\u00ecobadh. Rin taobh sheas Calum Cille, a bha \u00e0rd agus caol; bha a l\u00e0mh air a togail a\u2019 d\u00e8anamh comharra na croise.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>

Dh\u2019\u00ecslich Fionn an t-eun chun na gainmhich. Sh\u00ecn e amhach fhada agus chaidh e a-steach do na h-uisgeachan ci\u00f9in. A\u2019 coimhead air ais, bha e coltach gun robh e a\u2019 leagail a chinn le soraidh sl\u00e0n – no an ann le taing – an uair sin sh\u00ecn e a sgiathan agus dh\u2019\u00e8irich e gu s\u00e0mhach dhan adhar. Bha Fionn den bheachd nach fhaca e dad a-riamh na bu ghr\u00e0sta na bheatha.<\/div><\/body><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body>
