G脿rradh Iapanach


Derek : Is mu dheireadh an dr脿st鈥, tha obair ga dh猫anamh gus g脿rradh 脿raid Iapanach air cnoc Albannach a ch脿radh. Chaidh an g脿rradh aig Caisteal Cowden ann an Siorrachd Chlach Mhanainn a chruthachadh anns na ficheadan, 鈥檚 thuirt e貌laiche gur e seo an g脿rradh as cudromaiche air taobh siar an t-saoghail air fad. Tha Karen Elder ag aithris.


Karen: 鈥橲 e p矛os beag de dh鈥橧apan a tha seo air cnoc Albannach. Anns na ficheadan, fhuair a鈥 chiad gh脿irnealair boireann Iapanach, Taki Handa, coimisean bho Ella Christie gus an g脿rradh a chruthachadh 鈥 ach chaidh a mhilleadh le bleigeartan anns na tr矛 ficheadan. 鈥橲 ann an-dr脿sta fh猫in a tha t猫 a tha c脿irdeach ri Ella Christie airson 鈥檚 gun t猫id a ch脿radh, agus tha i air iomairt a th貌iseachadh. Tha daoine air tighinn bho air feadh an t-saoghail gu saor-thoileach, nam measg, an t-Ard Ollamh Fukohara bho Oilthigh Osaka, a tha na e貌laiche air g脿rraidhean Iapanach. Tha e fh猫in 鈥檚 a sgioba air tadhal air a鈥 gh脿rradh tr矛 tursan. Chuir iad craobhan is lusan, ch脿raich iad an Loch, agus an taigh t矛, agus chuir iad geata f脿ilteachaidh 霉r ann. Ach, tha mu mhillean nota fhathast a dh矛th air an iomairt, mus t猫id aca ris a鈥 gh脿rradh fhosgladh chun a鈥 phobaill son a鈥 chiad triop ann an leth-cheud bliadhna.听

Tar-sgr矛obhadh: L脿ithean Geala 14

鈥溍坕rich is Cuir Umad鈥


鈥淎m fear a bhitheas fada gun 猫irigh, bidh e na leum fad an latha鈥, arsa m脿thair N猫ill, agus i a鈥 toirt crathadh math air a ghualainn aig cairteal gu deich madainn Disathairne; 鈥渁 bheil guth agad idir air 猫irigh, a chaomhain? Fhuair thu cupa airson ruith is leum, is tu a fhuair, ach cha tig an latha a gheibh thu fear airson a bhith ag 猫irigh tr脿th anns a鈥 mhadainn. Siud thu, ma-t脿, a luaidh, is gun t猫id sinn greiseag don mhonaidh. Cha bu tu Calum B脿n, is fhada bho bha e fh猫in is athair air c霉l na beinne. Sin agad gille sunndach, 猫asgaidh.鈥


Is ann a chuireadh e iongnadh ort nam faiceadh tu cho luath 鈥檚 a leum Niall s矛os an staidhre a鈥 mhadainn ud. 鈥淣ach mi tha 脿s mo rian ", ars esan ris fh猫in, 鈥渁鈥 cosg nan l脿ithean buidhe anns an leabaidh, agus na tha agam ri dh猫anamh - iasgach is sn脿mh is cluich, beanntan ri dh矛readh, sgothan ri she貌ladh, caoraich ri chruinneachadh, coineanaich ri ghlacadh is bodaich ri sp貌rs fhaighinn orra. Cha bhi an 霉ine ach goirid gu le貌r ged nach bithinn a鈥 cadal idir.鈥


Chan fhaigh muinntir Sheumais air Calum a chumail anns an leabaidh ged bu bhuidhe leotha e. Tha esan ag 猫irigh tr脿th co-dhi霉, ach gu seachd 脿raidh an latha nach bi sgoil ann. Chan e sin do Mh脿iri e - chaidleadh ise gu meadhan-latha nam faigheadh i cothrom, agus chan eil teagamh nach d猫anadh i sin cuideachd, mura b鈥 e an t-eagal gun t貌isich Calum air tarraing aiste airson i bhith cho anmoch ag 猫irigh.听听


Chan iarr Calum fh猫in ach a bhith ri caran air choireigin, agus bha e air a l脿n d貌igh an uair a chuala e gur ann Disathairne a bha d霉il aig athair na caoraich-uan a r霉sgadh. Bha iad a-mach le ch猫ile aig cairteal gu ochd, agus deamhais an t-aon aca nan d貌rn agus 鈥淒矛leas鈥, an c霉 dubh, air an s脿il.


鈥淎 bheil thu air 猫irigh, a Mh脿iri?鈥 arsa Calum, an uair a th脿inig e fh猫in is athair dhachaidh gu an d矛nneir air ch霉l d脿 uair dheug, 鈥渘ach tu rinn a鈥 mhocheirigh an-diugh!鈥


鈥淐ha do chuir mise dragh oirre gus an robh e leth-uair an d猫idh naoi鈥, fhreagair a mh脿thair, 鈥渂ha i cho sg矛th, an truaghag.鈥


鈥淭ha diofar m貌r, a mh脿thair, eadar sg矛os is leisg鈥, arsa Calum.


Cha tuirt M脿iri bhochd diog, ach mo l脿mh-sa gu faigh i cothrom air fhathast. Is math gu bheil i a鈥 tuigsinn nach eil a br脿thair ach ri fealla-dh脿, ged a tha e ladarna!

S霉il air a' Mhapa 14

Nuair a bha mi a鈥 fuireach ann an Tasmania, 鈥檚 iomadh beinn air an robh mi a bh鈥 air a h-ainmeachadh an d猫idh r矛gh no banrigh no neach ainmeil ann an eachdraidh na h-脤mpireachd. Mar eisimpleir, Mount King William, Mount Victoria, Mount Wellington. Cha b' e sin an cleachdadh aig na G脿idheil, ge-t脿. 鈥橲 e gl猫 bheag de dh鈥檃inmean-脿ite mar sin a th鈥 againn air a鈥 Gh脿idhealtachd.


Anns an Eilean Sgitheanach, tha cuid de mhullaichean anns a鈥 Chuiltheann a鈥 gi霉lain ainmean sreapadairean 鈥榗limbers鈥. Mar eisimpleir, Sg霉rr Alasdair. Tha sin air ainmeachadh airson Alasdair MhicNeacail, Sgitheanach agus s脿r-Gh脿idheal. Dh矛rich e a鈥 bheinn anns a鈥 bhliadhna ochd ceud deug, seachdad 鈥檚 a tr矛. Roimhe sin, 鈥檚 e an Sg霉rr Biorach a bh鈥 air a鈥 bheinn mar ainm. Bha Sg霉rr Thormaid air ainmeachadh airson Tormod Collie, streapadair ainmeil. Agus fhuair Sg霉rr MhicCoinnich ainm bho Iain MacCoinnich, fear-i霉il nam beann.


Tha Beinn Fhionnla鈥 air t矛r-m貌r, tuath air Gleann Afraig. Fhuair i a h-ainm bho fhear ainmeil Fionnla鈥 MacRath 鈥 Fionnla鈥 Dubh nam Fiadh. Bha e be貌 anns an t-siathamh linn deug. 鈥橲 e sealgair a bh鈥 ann. Dh矛on e an d霉thaich aige bho dhaoine eile. 鈥楬e protected his country from others鈥. Dh矛on e an d霉thaich aige. Th脿inig fear a shealg ann. Mharbh Fionnla鈥 e. 鈥橲 e duine cruaidh a bh鈥 ann. 鈥橲 d貌cha gun robh e coltach ri r矛gh anns an d霉thaich aige fh猫in! Co-dhi霉, 鈥檚 e Beinn Fhionnla鈥 a chanas sinn ris a鈥 bheinn sin chun an latha an-diugh.
