2013 SUMMER
Facal-toisich bhon Phrionnsapal B’ e bliadhna shònraichte a bha ann an 1973 dhan Ghàidhlig. Sin a’ bhliadhna san deach Sabhal Mòr Ostaig a stèidheachadh agus sin cuideachd a’ bhliadhna san tàinig an còmhlan Runrig ri chèile. Chuir an dà thachartas sin spionnadh às ùr dhan chànan is dhan chultar agus bha, is tha, am buaidh ri fhaicinn is ri fhaireachdainn chan ann a-mhàin san Eilean Sgitheanach ach fad is farsainn tron dùthaich is thall thairis. Tha na mìltean de luchd-leantainn aig Runrig air feadh an t-saoghail agus tha an còmhlan air a bhith mar mheadhan air mòran dhaoine a thàladh gu ar cànan. Tha ruigse eadar-nàiseanta aig an t-Sabhal Mhòr cuideachd, nì a tha glè fhollaiseach gach samhradh nuair a thig oileanaich à iomadh dùthaich gu cùrsaichean goirid na Colaiste. Tha e iomchaidh anns a’ bhliadhna sa bheil Runrig agus an Sabhal Mòr a’ ruighinn 40 bliadhna a dh’aois gum bi a’ Cholaiste a’ com-pàirteachadh ann an cuirm mhòr a bhios aig Runrig san Eilean Dubh san Lùnastal. Sin dìreach aon dhe na tachartasan a thathar a’ cur air dòigh airson dà fhicheadamh bliadhna na Colaiste a chomharrachadh. Bha consairt mòr againn toiseach na bliadhna aig an fhèis Celtic Connections ann an Glaschu agus bha fàilteachadh rìoghail againn leis a’ Mhòrachd Rìoghail, am Prionnsa Teàrlach, ann an Lùchairt Holyrood ann an Dùn Èideann san Ògmhìos. Gheibhear fios mu thuilleadh thachartasan a tha san amharc, nam measg Bàl ann an Glaschu san t-Samhain, sa chuairtlitir seo agus air làrachlìn na Colaiste. Tha aon neach gu h-àraidh a tha a’ riochdachadh a’ cheangail eadar Runrig agus Sabhal Mòr. ‘S esan Donaidh Rothach a choisinn mòr-chliù mar sheinneadair sa chòmhlan agus a tha nis na Stiùiriche Leasachaidh is Ealain aig a’ Cholaiste. ‘S e Donaidh a tha a’ co-òrdanachadh tachartasan comharrachaidh na 40mh bliadhna agus ‘s ann airsan cuideachd a tha an t-uallach air a bhith ionmhas a thogail airson leasachadh na Cille Bige. Fhuaireas dearbhadh sa Chèitean gun robh an t-airgead a tha a dhìth airson na ciad ìre dhen phròiseact a-nis air aontachadh le diofar bhuidhnean maoineachaidh agus leigidh sin leinn teannadh air an ath cheum ann an leasachadh an t-Sabhail Mhòir anns an aon bhliadhna sa bheil sinn a’ dèanamh uaill às an 40mh ceann-bliadhna. Tha e cudromach aig àm far a bheilear a’ coimhead air ais air na chaidh a choileanadh gu ruige seo gum bithear cuideachd a’ coimhead air adhart gu feumalachdan an ath ghinealaich. Le leasachadh na Cille Bige, tha an lèirsinn a bh’ aig Iain Noble airson Sabhal Mòr sna 70an a’ sìor thighinn gu bith.

Prionnsapal - Proifeasair Boyd Robasdan
Foreword from The Principal 1973 was a highly significant year for Gaelic. That was the year Sabhal Mòr Ostaig was founded and it was also the year the band, Runrig, was formed. These two initiatives gave the language and culture renewed vigour and vitality and their impact can be seen and felt not just in Skye but throughout the country and overseas. Runrig have thousands of fans worldwide and the band has been instrumental in drawing many people to our language. Sabhal Mòr also has an international reach as is evident each summer when students from many different countries attend the College’s short courses. It is appropriate in the year that both Runrig and Sabhal Mòr have their 40th anniversary that the College will be taking part in Runrig’s Ceilidh on the Moor in the Black Isle in August. That is just one of the ways in which we are marking the 40th year of the College. A major concert was held at the start of the year at the Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow and HRH Prince Charles hosted a reception for the College in the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh in June. More information about forthcoming events, including a Ball in Glasgow in November, can be found elsewhere in this newsletter and on the College website. One individual, in particular, embodies the association between Runrig and Sabhal Mòr. That person is Donnie Munro, greatly acclaimed as lead singer with the band and now Director of Development and the Arts at the College. Donnie is coordinating the programme of events to mark our 40th anniversary and he has also been charged with the task of raising funds for the Kilbeg development. Confirmation was received in May that the finance required for the first phase of the project had been agreed by the various funding bodies and that will enable the next stage of the development of Sabhal Mòr to begin in the year we celebrate the 40th anniversary. It is important at a time when we reflect on all that has been achieved to date that we also look to the future and consider the needs of the next generation. With the Kilbeg development, the vision Iain Noble had for Sabhal Mòr in the 70s continues to be translated into reality.

MAOINEACHADH EÒRPACH EU FUNDING COMPLETES KILBEG A’ COILEANADH EARRANN VILLAGE PHASE 1 FUNDING MHAOINEACHAIDH ÌRE 1 BAILE NA PACKAGE CILLE BIGE h’ fhoillsich An Leas Phrìomh Mhinistear, Nicola Sturgeon, BPA, sa Chèitean gun tèid £1.908m de mhaoineachadh calpa a shònrachadh don phròiseact an lùib Prògram Mhaoinean Structarail Eòrpach ERDF. Tha am maoineachadh a’ coileanadh earrann mhaoineachaidh Ìre 1 de £6.7m a chaidh a dhearbhadh mar thà agus mar sin faodar Ìre 1 de Phròiseact Leasachaidh Baile na Cille Bige a chur air chois air ball.
eputy First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, MSP, announced in May that £1.908m of capital funding would be allocated to the project through the ERDF European Structural Funds Programme. The funding completes the wider £6.7m Phase 1 funding package already secured and means that Phase 1 of the visionary Kilbeg Village Development Project can now begin immediately.
Thèid bun-structair is seirbheisean leasachaidh don chiad cheithir acairean air làrach Mòr Phlana na Cille Bige a chur air chois an lùib Ìre 1 den phlana. Thèid togalach ùr a chur air bhonn do SMO anns am bi Rianachd, Rannsachadh, Sgaoileadh Eòlais is Iomairtean gan leasachadh agus anns an tèid 20 dreuchd a tha ann mar-thà a ghlèidheadh agus 20 dreuchd ùr a chruthachadh sa choimhearsnachd, agus buaidh eaconamach de £400,000 na chois. Thèid an obair Ìre 1 a chur air adhart rè 15 mìosan bhon t-Sultain 2013 anns an tèid 50 dreuchd a chruthachadh is £1.6m a thoirt don eaconamaidh.
Phase 1 of the plan will provide development infrastructure and services to the first four acres of the Kilbeg Master Plan site. It will also provide SMO with a new Administration, Research, Knowledge Exchange and Enterprise building which will sustain 20 existing posts and create up to 20 new jobs in the local community, generating an economic benefit of over £400k per annum. The construction of Phase 1 is planned to take place over 15 months from September 2013 with the creation of 50 jobs and earnings into the economy of £1.6m.
Thuirt Neach-cathrach SMO, an Siorraidh Ruaraidh Iain MacLeòid, “Tha am pròiseact a’ tachairt aig crois-rathaid chudromach ann an eachdraidh an t-Sabhail Mhòir: bidh a’ chiad phloc air a ghearradh ann an 2013, nuair a bhios sinn a’ comharrachadh an 40mh Ceann-bliadhna againn. Tha an tuiteamas sin gu math iomchaidh seach gum bi am baile ùr, ann an iomadh dòigh, na thaisbeanadh air amasan agus rùintean Shir Iain Noble agus nan Urrasairean aige a stèidhich SMO, gum biodh Gàidhlig, mar chànan, na h-adhbhar brosnachaidh do leasachadh eaconamach agus sòisealta san sgìre. Tha mi cinnteach às gum biodh iad air a bhith gu mòr air cùl na tha fo ar comhair an-dràsta.”
Sabhal Mòr Ostaig Chairman, Sheriff Roddy John MacLeod said, “The project is taking place at a significant juncture in Sabhal Mòr Ostaig’s history as the first sod will be cut in 2013, the year in which we celebrate our 40th Anniversary. That coincidence is so appropriate since the new village will, in many ways, be an expression of the aims and aspirations of Sir Iain Noble and his founding Trustees, for the Gaelic language to be the stimulus for the economic and social development of the area”.

EACHDRAIDH NA COLAISTE AGUS LEASACHAIDHEAN ÙRA
HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE AND NEW DEVELOPEMENTS
ha dà fhichead bliadhna ann bho chaidh Sabhal Mòr Ostaig a chur air bhonn. Cha robh ann an-toiseach ach beachd agus seann togalach. Cha robh ann ach corra chèilidh agus clasoidhche is cùrsa samhraidh... Ach cuideachd bha lèirsinn ann agus dòchas gun tigeadh ionad foghlaim gu bith le àite airson pàistean, clann-sgoile, daoine le ceum agus daoine le for-cheum. Bhathar ag iarraidh àite a chur air chois air am faodadh daoine bho air feadh an t-saoghail tadhal agus ùidh aca sa Ghàidhlig. Tha Sabhal Mòr Ostaig a-nis na colaiste àrd-ìre a tha na pàirt de dh’ Oilthigh na Gàidhealtachd agus nan Eilean. Tha i cuideachd na h-Ionad Nàiseanta airson Cànan is Cultar na Gàidhlig le 78 oileanaich làn-thìde agus 10 a tha pàirt-thìde air làrach na colaiste, 250 a tha dèanamh cùrsa air astar agus bidh mu 750 duine a’ dèanamh cùrsa-goirid innte gach bliadhna. Tha 25 luchd-obrach acadaimigeach aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig agus tha 79 daoine ann an dreuchdan eile aig a’ cholaiste, agus tha 32 ag obair aig buidheann no companaidhean a tha stèidhichte sa cholaiste. Tha a’ cholaiste a’ tabhann oideachadh sa Ghàidhlig agus cùrsaichean air an teagasg tron Ghàidhlig bho ìre teisteanais agus dioplòma gu ìre ceuma agus for-cheuma. Gheibh oileanaich cothrom air foghlam làn-thìde, pàirt-thìde agus air astar, air neo faodaidh iad cùrsa goirid a ghabhail ann an cuspair sònraichte. Far an robh sabhal is ceàrnag, tha a’ cholaiste a-nis air leudachadh gus a bheil 90 seòmraichean-fuirich ann airson oileanaich, sàr ghoireasan teagaisg agus coimhearsnachd, dachaigh airson chompanaidhean malairteach agus iomairtean Gàidhlig nàiseanta, ionad cùraim-chloinne Gàidhlig, stiùidio telebhisein agus goireasan craolaidh is clàraidh. ’S ann an 1973 a chaidh Sabhal Mòr Ostaig a stèidheachadh mar urras carthannais agus e na amas don bhuidhinn a bha air cùl ghnothaichean ionad foghlaim a chur air bhonn le Gàidhlig aig a chridhe. A-measg na ciad urrasairean bha Iain Noble, D.R. Dòmhnallach, Somhairle MacGill-Eain agus Gòrdon Bàrr. B’ ann le Sir Iain Noble nach maireann a bha an talamh, a fhuair e nuair a cheannaich e còrr is leth de dh’ oighreachd Chlann Dòmhnaill ann an Slèite. Air a’ bhunait sin chaidh goireasan agus na cothroman ionnsachaidh a leudachadh agus a leasachadh thar nam bliadhnaichean. Sa chiad deich bliadhna chaidh na seann toglaichean a chur air dòigh, chaidh leabharlann an t-Sabhail a stèidheachadh, agus chaidh na ciad obraichean làn-thìde a chruthachadh. An uair sin ann an 1983 chaidh a’ chiad chùrsa làn-thìde aig àrd-ìre, air a theagasg tron Ghàidhlig, a thabhann. Bha seachdnar oileanach ann a’ dèanamh HND ann am Foghlam Gnìomhachais agus Gàidhealtachd. Ri ùine nochd barrachd is barrachd chùrsaichean agus chaidh companaidhean mar Cànan is Lèirsinn a chur air chois. Sna 90an chaidh seann làrach na colaiste a leudachadh aig Àrainn Ostaig, agus chaidh dà thogalach ùr fhosgladh: Àrainn Chaluim Chille agus Lòchran an Dòmhnallaich (an Tùr). Leis na leasachaidhean mòra seo agus fosgladh an ionaid Fàs airson nan gnìomhachasan cruthachail is cultarach ann an 2008, thog a’ cholaiste clachan-mìle maireannach mar fhianais air mar a tha lèirsinn nan ciad ghaisgeach air tighinn gu buil agus gu bith. Agus mar a bha riamh fìor ann an eachdraidh na colaiste, tha tuilleadh adhartais a-nis air fàire agus dùil agus dòchas ann gum faicear Baile na Cille Bige ann an ùine nach bi fada – a sheallas uair eile dè ghabhas dèanamh nuair a bhios lèirsinn agus misneachd agad.
orty years ago witnessed the first days of Sabhal Mòr Ostaig. Then it was no more than an idea and an old farm steading. Tha ‘barn’ at Ostaig was home to the occasional ceilidh, night class and summer course. However, there was also a vision and the hope that in time it would become a centre of education for all ages, and a home to graduates and post-graduates. It would provide a focal point for people from all corners of the globe who had an interest in Gaelic. Sabhal Mòr Ostaig is now a higher education college and part of the University of the Highlands and Islands. It is also a National Centre for Gaelic Language and Culture with 78 fulltime students and 10 part-time students on campus, 250 students engaged in distance learning and a further 750 students come to the college each year to take a short course. Sabhal Mòr employs a total of 25 academic staff, and there are a further 111 people working at the college in other roles or for one of the organisations or companies which are based at the college. The college offers people the chance to learn Gaelic and a wide range of courses taught through the medium of Gaelic from certificate and diploma courses to degrees and post-graduate studies. The study methods and options available include fulltime, part-time and distance learning as well as short courses on various subjects. Where once there was only a barn and a steading, there is now a state-ofthe-art higher education centre which includes accommodation for 90 students, high quality educational and community facilities, a home for commercial companies and national Gaelic organisations, a Gaelic childcare centre, a television studio and professional recording and broadcasting capacity. Sabhal Mòr Ostaig was established in 1973 as a charitable foundation with the aim of establishing an educational institute with a special emphasis on Gaelic educational functions. Among the first trustees were Iain Noble, D.R. MacDonald, Sorley MacLean and Gordon Barr. The land belonged to the late Sir Iain Noble, who had acquired it as part of the Clan Donald lands he had purchased in Sleat. From those humble beginnings, the last forty years have seen a seemingly unstinting series of improvements and developments in the facilities and education offered by the college. In the first ten years the original buildings were upgraded, the Sabhal Mòr library was established, and the first fulltime posts were created. In 1983 seven students were enrolled on the first fulltime higher education course offered through the medium of Gaelic. The course was the HND Business and Gàidhealtachd Studies. In time more and more courses were offered and companies such as Cànan and Lèirsinn were set up. In the 90s the original site of the college was further developed at Àrainn Ostaig, and two other major construction projects were completed which provided: Àrainn Chaluim Chille and Lòchran an Dòmhnallaich (the Tower). These significant developments and the opening of Fàs, the centre for the creative and cultural industries, in 2008, provide lasting proof of how the vision of the founders of Sabhal Mòr Ostaig has come to be realised and how that vision has grown. As has always been the case, the college is now looking to the future and further developments. It is hoped that the Kilbeg village development will provide further stimulus to the growth of the college and the communities of Sleat and south Skye, and that once again we will show what can be achieved with vision and belief.
“Thàinig mise gu Sabhal Mòr Ostaig ann an 1982. Aig an àm, bhiodh Iain Noble a’ toirt daoine còmhla aig an robh ùidh ann an òrain is seanchas agus rudan mar sin. Bhiodh e a’ toirt cuireadh dhuinn a dhol a dh’Eilean Iarmain airson an deireadh-sheachdain. Bha na deireadhsheachdainean sin mìorbhaileach, bha iad gar brosnachadh agus bha e a’ dèanamh rudeigin nach robh duine sam bith eile a’ dèanamh. Dh’ fhaighnich e dhomh am biodh ùidh agam a thighinn a dh’obair aig an t-Sabhal Mhòr? Thuirt mise nach biodh, cha robh ùidh sam bith agam tighinn dhan Eilean Sgitheanach. Thill mi a Ghlaschu agus an ceann beagan làithean thàinig mi fhìn ’s an gille agam Iain, nach robh ach còig bliadhna a dh’aois aig an àm sin, dhan Eilean Sgitheanach le dà mhàileid agus tha mi an seo fhathast!” Cuimhneachan bhon bhana-sheinneadair Christine Primrose, a tha a-nis na Neach-teagaisg airson Òrain Ghàidhlig air BA (le urram) Gàidhlig agus Ceòl Traidiseanta aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig
“I came to Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in 1982. At that time Iain Noble used to host gatherings for people with an interest in Gaelic song and folklore. He would invite us to come to Eilean Iarmain for the weekend. Those weekends were fantastic, you felt encouraged about your culture and your language. He was doing something that on one else was at that time. Iain asked me whether I would like to come and work there. I said no, that I had no desire to come and work on Skye. I went back to Glasgow and within a few days my son Iain, who was five at the time and I were on Skye with our two bags and I’m still here!” Gaelic singer Christine Primrose recalls her early days at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, where she in now the Gaelic song tutor on the BA (hons) Gaelic and Traditional Music
“Bha Sabhal Mòr Ostaig riamh a’ coimhead fada air adhart agus tha iomairtean ùra inntinneach ri thighinn anns na bliadhnaichean a tha romhainn, gu h-àraid le leasachadh na Cille Bige. Tha mi gam mheas fhèin air leth fortanach, anns na 30 bliadhna a th’ air a bhith agam an seo, gu bheil mi air a bhith ag obair ann an ionad a tha cho adhartach, far a bheil a’ Ghàidhlig aig cridhe gach cùis, agus far a bheil luach air an neach, air neartachadh choimhearsnachdan agus air ionnsachadh is obair sgoileireil.” Iain Tormod MacLeòid, Stiùiriche an Fhoghlaim aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig “Sabhal Mòr Ostaig has never stopped looking to the future and there are exciting initiatives in the pipeline for the next decades, none more so than the Kilbeg development. In looking back over my own 30 years here, I consider myself privileged to have worked in such a dynamic institution, where Gaelic is at the heart of everything we do, and where there is respect for the individual, for developing communities and for learning and scholarly activity.” John Norman MacLeod, Director of Studies at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig

Cunntas Oileanach :
Student Profile :
ann ann an 1995 a thàinig mi nam oileanach gu Sabhal Mòr Ostaig airson Diploma ann an Telebhisean Gàidhlig a dhèanamh. Aig an àm sin bha Slèite agus Sabhal Mòr Ostaig gu math eadar-dhealaichte seach mar a tha e an-diugh. ’S e rathad singilte a bha ann às an Ath Leathainn, cha robh sgeul air Àrainn Chaluim Chille, Fàs, fònaichean làimhe neo fiùs puist-d!
came to Sabhal Mòr Ostaig as a student in 1995 to study for a Diploma in Gaelic Television. At that time Sleat and Sabhal Mòr Ostaig were very different to how they are today. It was a single track road from Broadford, there was no sign of Àrainn Chaluim Chille, FÀS, mobile phones or even e-mail!
Chur mi seachad bliadhna air leth aig an t-Sabhal agus an uair sin rinn mi greis-gnìomhachais aig a’ BhBC agus Telebhisean Grampian. Thug an cùrsa dhomh sgilean air leth ann an craoladh, sgilean a lean gu obair inntinneach ann an telebhisean far an d’ fhuair mi cothroman siubhal le m’ obair gu àiteachan mar Ameireaga, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, Astràilia, an Roinn Eòrpa agus Alba cuideachd.
I spent a fantastic year at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig and I then completed my work placement at the BBC and Grampian Television. The course taught me invaluable skills in broadcasting which led to work in television: interesting work which gave me the opportunity to travel with my work to places like America, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, Europe and Scotland too.
Tha mi air a bhith air ais a’ fuireach anns an Eilean Sgitheanach a-nis airson sia bliadhna deug. Chuir mi na sia bliadhna mu dheireadh seachad ag obair air mo cheann fhìn mar neach-rannsachaidh. Andiugh tha mi a’ fuireach ann an Slèite agus ag obair làn thìde do Young Films a tha stèidhichte aig FÀS aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig.
I have now been back living in the Isle of Skye for sixteen years. I spent the last six years working as a freelance researcher. Today I live in Sleat and work full time for Young Films who are based at FÀS at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig.

Thug an cùrsa dhomh sgilean air leth ann an craoladh, sgilean a thug dhomh obair inntinneach ann an telebhisean
ar oileanach misneachail aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig a tha a’ dèanamh ceum ann an cànan is cultar, is neònach leam a bhith a’ smaoineachadh air mar a bhà mi dìreach trì bliadhna air ais agus mi nam dheugaire Gollach gun fhios agam dè bu mhath leam a bhith a’ dèanamh nam bheatha agus gun lide den Ghàidhlig agam.
s an outgoing student at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig doing a degree in Gaelic language and culture, it is strange to think that only three years ago I was a fairly shy Caithnesian teenager with little idea of what to do with myself and with just enough Gaelic to fill a Post-it note.
B’ e an Cùrsa Inntrigidh – cùrsa air astar le stuthan air an eadar-lìon agus clas-fòn gach seachdain – a’ chiad chùrsa a rinn mi riamh ann an Gàidhlig. Gheibhear Gàidhlig gu leòr à sin gus faighinn a-steach dhan Chùrsa Chomais – cùrsa a nithear aig an t-Sabhal Mhòr fhèin far a bheil na clasaichean gan teagasg tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig. Nam bharail-sa, ’s e an rud as sònraichte mun àite seo gur ann a’ cleachdadh a’ chànain a tha sinn seach a bhith a’ bruidhinn mu deidhinn tro mheadhan chànanan eile, oir thug sin misneachd agus fileantachd dhomh nach d’ fhuair mi riamh roimhe anns na cànanan eile a bha mi ag ionnsachadh. A thuilleadh air sin, fhuair mi eòlas air cuid de na caraidean as fheàrr dhomh tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig, agus mar sin, dh’fhàs mi na bu chofhurtaile an dà chuid a’ bruidhinn a’ chànain agus annam fhìn.
I began at Sabhal Mòr with An Cùrsa Inntrigidh (Access to Gaelic Course) – a distance learning course delivered online with weekly classes over the phone which gets students’ Gaelic up to a level where they can learn through the medium of Gaelic on campus on An Cùrsa Comais (Intensive Gaelic course). The fact that we were talking in the language, as opposed to merely talking about the language, is what gave me a level of confidence and fluency in Gaelic that I had never quite reached in the languages I had previously studied. However, Gaelic isn’t just the language of the classroom; it is, more importantly, the language through which I have made many new friends. Sabhal Mòr Ostaig has not only made me more comfortable and confident in my Gaelic: it has made me more comfortable and confident within myself.
‘S e an rud as sònraichte mun àite seo gur ann a’ cleachdadh a’ chànain a tha sinn seach a bhith a’ bruidhinn mu deidhinn

COIMISEAN IOMRAITEACH AIRSON GEAMANNAN A’ CHO-FHLAITHEIS
PRESTIGIOUS COMMISSION AS PART OF COMMONWEALTH GAMES CELEBRATIONS
huair Ceòladair na Colaiste, Màiri Anna NicUalraig, coimisean ’sa Ghiblean airson cuirm-chiùil shònraichte a dhealbh agus a chur air dòigh mar phàirt de sgioba eadar-nàiseanta airson na h-iomairt chiùil iomraiteach ‘Ceòl Ùr 2014’ aig PRSF airson Geamannan a’ Cho-fhlaitheis 2014 ann an Glaschu. ’S e com-pàirteachas eadar-nàiseanta a bhios san ‘Aiseag’ a chuireas Gàidhlig aig cridhe Geamannan a’ Cho-fhlaitheis. Ag obair còmhla ri Màiri Anna bidh an sgrìobhaiche-ciùil Canèidianach Scott Mac a’ Mhaoilein, An Dealbhaiche Fuaime Nick Turner bho Watercolour Music agus am bàrd iomraiteach Aonghas ‘Dubh’ MacNeacail. Bidh ‘Aiseag’ a’ togail air na ceanglaichean eadar daoine agus na ceanglaichean cultarach a th’ ann eadar Gàidhealtachd agus Eileanan na h-Alba agus sluagh Gàidhlig Alba Nuadh ann an Canada. Thuirt Màiri Anna NicUalraig: “’S e urram mòr a th’ ann gu bheil an cothrom seo againn Gàidhlig a chur aig teis-meadhan tachartasan cultarach nan Geamannan, gu sònraichte nuair a tha iad gu bhith sa bhaile far an do thogadh mi fhìn, Glaschu. The mi a’ coimhead air adhart ri bhith ag obair còmhla ri Scott, Nick agus Aonghas – agus ri bhith taisbeanadh saoghal mara nan Gàidheal tro cheòl is ealain air bruaichean Abhainn Chluaidh agus Abhainn Thames!” Thuirt Donaidh Rothach, An Stiùiriche aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig airson Leasachaidh, Tional-airgid agus nan Ealain: “’S e naidheachd mhath dha-rìribh a tha seo, airson Màiri Anna fhèin, mar neach-ciùil is riochdaire aig a bheil ainm eadar-nàiseanta, agus gu dearbh airson Sabhal Mòr Ostaig far a bheil i na Ceòladair an-dràsta. ’S e seo an dearbh seòrsa cothruim a bha sinn an dòchas a thigeadh às a’ phrògram againn le luchd-ealain air mhuinntireas. Leis a’ phròiseact iongantach seo, chan e a-mhàin gu bheil Màiri Anna a’ cur cànan is cultar na Gàidhlig aig cridhe nan tachartasan cultarach a bhios a’ comharrachadh Geamannan a’ Cho-fhlaitheis, ach tha i a’ toirt àite dhan chànan agus dhan chultar sna h-ealain eadar-nàiseanta.”
abhal Mòr Ostaig’s Musician in Residence, Mary Ann Kennedy, was commissioned in April to create and produce an innovative new work for the prestigious UK music initiative, the ‘PRSF New Music Biennial’ which will form part of the cultural celebrations to mark the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014. Placing Gaelic at the very heart of the Games, Mary Ann will work with an international team on ‘Aiseag’ (The Ferryboat), which will include the Canadian composer Scott MacMillan, Audio Designer Nick Turner from Watercolour Music, and renowned Gaelic poet Aonghas MacNeacail. They aim to create a new work inspired by human and cultural connections, rooted in the Highlands and the Nova Scotian Gaelic diaspora. Mary Ann commented: “It’s a real honour to be able to bring Gaelic into the heart of the cultural celebrations of the Games in this way, especially in my hometown of Glasgow. I’m looking forward to working again with Scott, Nick and Aonghas – and to finding some exciting ways of bringing these maritime worlds back up the Clyde and Thames!” Welcoming the news Sabhal Mòr Ostaig’s Director of Development, Fundraising and the Arts, Donnie Munro, said: “This news is wonderful, for Mary Ann in her own right, as a highly regarded international artist and producer and, of course, also for Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, as host to her current artist’s residency. This is precisely the type of creative opportunity which the residency programme was designed to facilitate. With this exciting project, Mary Ann not only places Gaelic language and culture at the centre of the Commonwealth Games cultural celebrations but, importantly, places the language and the culture within the wider context of international arts experience.”

DEALBHADAIR TÀLANTACH À ALBA NA NEACH-EALAIN LÈIRSINNE ÙR AIG SMO
RISING STAR OF SCOTTISH PHOTOGRAPHY IS NAMED SMO’S VISUAL ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
haidh an dealbhadair Albannach Alex Boyd fhastadh mar Neach-ealain Lèirsinn ùr air Mhuinntireas o chionn ghoirid. Tha Alex air ainm a dhèanamh dha fhèin o chionn beagan bhliadhnaichean agus tha daoine air moladh mòr a dhèanamh air an obair aige, gu sònraichte na dealbhan a tha e air a thogail de thìr na h-Alba. ’S e am pròiseact as motha a tha e air a dhèanamh thuige seo, ‘Sonaidean’, far an robh e a’ togail dhealbhan de neach fa leth ann an feadhainn de na h-àiteachan as aithnichte agus as iomallaiche ann an Alba. Chaidh toraidhean a’ phròiseict sin a thaisbeanadh gu h-eadar-nàiseanta agus tha an cruinneachadh fiù ’s air an neach-piàna clasaigeach is jazz, Mike Garson, a ghluasad gu òrain a sgrìobhadh stèidhichte air na dealbhan. Thuirt Alex Boyd mun dreuchd ùir aige: “Tha mi a' faireachdainn gu math fortanach gun d'fhuair mi an cothrom seo a bhith nam Neach-ealain Lèirsinn aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig. 'S ann san Eilean Sgitheanach a thòisich mi mar dhealbhadair o chionn cha mhòr deich bliadhna, agus tha e a' ciallachadh tòrr dhomh gu bheil mi a' faighinn cothrom tilleadh an seo gus obair air dealbhan ùra. Gheibh mi cothrom cànan an àite far am bi ag obair ionnsachadh, agus bheir sin sealladh ùr dhomh chan ann a-mhàin air Alba, ach air na daoine a tha fuireach ann. Tha mi an dòchas obair còmhla ri coimhearsnachdan san Eilean Sgitheanach agus sna h-Eileanan Siar, a' dèanamh clàr-dhealbhan a bhuineas ris an tìr agus na daoine a tha fuireach san tìr sin.”
alented Scottish photographer Alex Boyd became the new Visual Artist in Residence recently. Alex has won widespread acclaim in recent years for his work which has been described as compelling and thought-provoking, with his landscape work having been widely exhibited. Alex is perhaps best known for his series of landscapes, ‘Sonnets’, a series of large format landscapes featuring a lone figure in some of Scotland’s most distinctive and remote locations. ‘Sonnets’ has been exhibited internationally and has even inspired a collection of songs by classical and jazz pianist, Mike Garson. Speaking of his new position, Alex Boyd said: "I feel privileged to have the opportunity to be Artist in Residence at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig. Skye is where my photographic career began almost a decade ago, and to be able to return here to develop a new body of work is very important to me. The chance to learn the language of the land I will be working in will give me a new perspective on not only how I view Scotland, but the people who live here. I hope to work with local communities on Skye and the Western Isles, making a pictorial record which engages with the landscape and the people who live amongst it.”

ha mi air sia mìosan a chur seachad a-nis nam Sgrìobhadair air Mhuinntireas aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig agus tha e air a bhith na fhìor chùis thoileachais dhomh gu ruige seo. Chan e a’ mhàin gu bheil mi a’ faighinn cothrom a bhith ag obair ann an sgìre cho bòidheach ’s a tha san t-saoghal ach tha mi cuideachd air coinneachadh ri tòrr dhaoine ùra aig a bheil ùidh ann an sgrìobhadh agus litreachas sa Ghàidhlig. Chuir mi ri chèile buidheann sgrìobhaidh agus tha sinn air a bhith coinneachadh a h-uile ceala-deug airson còmhradh air sgrìobhadh agus gus taic a chur ri càch a chèile nar cuid obrach. Tha e air còrdadh rium gu mòr a bhith a’ faicinn an adhartais a tha gach neach sa bhuidheann air dèanamh le ’n sgrìobhadh agus tha mi ’n dòchas cumail orm le seo às dèidh an t-Samhraidh. Anns a’ Ghiblean, dh’obraich mi còmhla ri Neach-dràma na Colaiste, Artair Donald, agus Màrtainn MacLeòir air dealbh-chluich coobrachail: Murt aig a’ Bhanais! Le seachd chleasaichean proifeasanta, chuir sinn air dòigh dà latha de thaisbeanaidhean, fealla-dhà agus dìomhaireachd a chòrd gu math ris an luchd-amharc a thàinig gus pàirt a ghabhail ann. B’ e seo a’ chiad turas againn ag obair còmhla air pròiseact mar seo ach bha deagh spòrs againn agus tha sinn an dòchas gun gabh am beachd seo a leasachadh san àm ri teachd. Aig toiseach an Ògmhios, ann an cò-obrachadh eadar Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Scottish Writers Centre agus Scottish Book Trust, chuir mi air dòigh oidhche de chòmhradh, bàrdachd is rosg ann an iomadh cànan. Còmhla ri Meg Bateman agus Rody Gorman, chuir sinn fàilte chridheil air an sàr sgrìobhaiche, Janet Paisley. Fhuair sinn cuideachd leughadh de phìos bàrdachd bho Susanne Arnold, aon dhe na buill den bhuidheann sgrìobhaidh. Bha deagh oidhche againn uile agus tha mi taingeil dhan a h-uile duine a thàinig ’s a ghabh pàirt ann. Am measg na tha seo, tha mi cuideachd air faighinn beagan ùine an sgrìobhadh agam fhèin a leasachadh. Le dà nobhail agus dealbhcluich agam a’ dol an-dràsta, tha an ùine seo air a bhith os cionn luach dhomh. Tha an dreuchd seo air còrdadh rium cho math gu ruige seo agus tha mi gu mòr a’ coimhead air adhart ri faicinn na tha ri thighinn sna sia mìosan a tha ri dhol.

’ve been the Writer in Residence at SMO for six months now and it’s been a great joy thus far. Not only am I working in one of the most beautiful regions in the world but I’ve also had the opportunity to meet many people who are interested in Gaelic writing and literature. I have put together a writers group and we have been meeting every two weeks to discuss writing and to encourage one another in our work. I’ve really enjoyed seeing the commitment that each member has applied to their writing and I hope to continue with this group after the Summer. In April, I worked with the College’s Drama Artist in Residence, Arthur Donald, and Martin Maclure to stage an interactive play: Murder at the Wedding! With seven professional actors, we put together two days of performance, entertainment and mystery that was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience who came to participate. This was our first time working together on a project of this type but we had a great time and we hope to continue to develop the piece in the future. At the beginning of June, in a collaboration between SMO, the SWC and the SBT, I put together a night of conversation, poetry and prose in many languages. Along with the Meg Batemen and Rody Gorman, we warmly welcomed the renowed writer, Janet Paisley. We also had a reading of a poem by Suzanne Arnold, one of the members of the writers group. A great night was had by all and I’m very grateful to all those who came along and took part. Amongst all this, I’ve also had some time to work on my own writing. With two novels and a play to finish, this extra time has been invaluable. This post has been so enjoyable so far and I’m very much looking forward to seeing what the next six months will bring.

Tha aig Sgioba nan Cùrsaichean Goirid ri taghadh farsaing de chùrsaichean a chur air dòigh tron bhliadhna air fad, a’ gabhail a-staigh ceòl, Gàidhlig, eachdraidh agus dràma. Cuideachd, bidh sinn a’ ruith cùrsaichean sònraichte airson buidhnean a tha ag iarraidh cùrsaichean aig SMO agus ann an àiteachan eile. Cò às a tha sibh agus cò ris a tha e coltach? ‘Sann à Lunnainn a tha mi, baile beag trang ann an ceann a-deas Shasainn! Dè na cur-seachadan a th' agaibh? Nuair a tha an cothrom agam, is toil leam a bhith ag iasgach, a’ streap , a’ cluich ball-coise, a’ seinn na pìoba, a’ tachairt ri caraidean agus a’ cur seachad ùine leis an teaghlach agam. Ainmich aon rud a bu toil leibh a dhèanamh airson Gàidhlig a bhrosnachadh? Bhiodh e math “Oscar” fhaighinn airson fiolm sa Ghàidhlig is ìomhaigh na Gàidhlig a thogail tron sin.

Name one thing you would like to do for Gaelic? It would be good to win an Oscar for a Gaelic film and to raise the profile of the language through that.

Corp Liam Colgan air a lorg
Chaidh a dhearbhadh gur e corp Liam Colgan, à Inbhir Nis, a chaidh a lorg ann an Abhainn Elbe ann an Hamburg sa Ghearmailt.
Chaidh Liam, 29, a dhìth 's e air thuras air thoiseach air banais a bhràthar, Èamonn, anns a' bhaile, air an 10mh là den Ghearran.
Ged nach deach aithneachadh foirmeil a dhèanamh air a' chorp fhathast, thuirt Urras Lucy Blackman, a' bruidhinn às leth an teaghlaich, gun robh cead-dràibhidh Mhgr Colgan ann am pocaid na seacaid a bh' air a' chorp, agus 's e an t-aodach a bh' air Mgr Colgan an oidhche a chaidh e a dhìth a bh' air cuideachd.
Dh'iarr an t-Urras gun toirear prìobhaideachd do theaghlach Mhgr Colgan aig an àm seo.
"Tha an t-uabhas taic air nochdadh anns a' chùis seo - ghabh na mìltean dhaoine pàirt anns an iomairt gus Liam a lorg, gach cuid Gearmailtich agus Breatannaich, agus bu mhath leinn taing a thoirt dhaibh uile airson na taic a nochd iad," thuirt Àrd-Stiùiriche an Urrais, Matthew Searle.
"Tha na smuaintean againn, gu nàdarra, le teaghlach agus caraidean Liam an-diugh," thuirt e.

Cuaigearan
Tha na Cuaigearan nam buill de ghluasadan creideimh air a tha, gu lèir, Comann Cràbhach nan Caraid (Beurla: Quakers no Religious Society of Friends).[1] Tha a' chuid as motha dhiubh gan fhaicinn fhèin mar Chrìosdaidhean; ge-tà, tha iomadh diofair eadar buidhnean sònraichte air sgàth diadhachd agus adhraidh, oir tha iad a' creidsinn ann an "solas a-staigh" aig gach ball seach ann an creudan suidhichte. San fharsaingeachd, tha iad nan sìochantairean, tha iad airson sìmplidheachd agus co-ionnannachd, agus an aghaidh innse bhreugan. Tha prionnsabalan aig coimhearsneachdan sònraichte air an cruthachadh ann an Leabhar Smachd (Beurla: Book of Discipline). Tha na leabhraichean seo air an atharrachadh bho àm gu àm agus tha caochladh ainm oifigeil eile aca, m.e. Faith and Practice (Creideamh agus Cleachdadh) no Quaker Faith and Practice.
Chaidh an stèidheachadh aig meadhan 17mh linn ann an Sasainn le George Fox.[2] An-diugh, tha coimhearsneachdan nan Cuaigearan as motha anns a' Cheinia (mu 134,000), anns na Stàitean Aonaichte (mu 87,000) agus ann an Guatamala (mu 21,000). Ann an 2010, bha 14,315 Cuaigearan clàraichte anns an Rìoghachd Aonaichte, 720 dhiubh ann an Alba.[3] Tha Sìochantas gu math cudromach dha na Cuaigearan.

'S e an tiotal a th' air a' chairt-phuist seo, 'Native and his grandson, Skye'. B' e fear den t-sreath de chairtean-puist 'Highland Series' le JRRE (John R Russell, Dùn Èideann).
Tha gnothachas Ruiseil air a liostadh sna leabhraichean-seòlaidh malairt eadar 1908 is 1929, ach tha e glè choltach gun deach cuid de na dealbhan-camara a thogail roimhe sin. Bha Ruiseal a' ruith bùth-phaipearachd mòr-reic agus stiuidio chamara, agus bhiodh e a' foillseachadh dhealbhan aig luchd-camara eile fo JRRE. Chuir e a-mach cruinneachaidhean de chairtean-puist, nam measg clann-nighean an èisg, ministearan sgìreil, seallaidhean Dhùin Èidinn agus an t-Sreath Ghàidhealach, anns an robh a' chairt-phuist a tha seo.
B' ann aig tionndadh na linn a chaidh dealbhan-camara mar seo a thogail, le luchd-camara a bhiodh a' siubhail a-mach às na bailtean mòra ach an glacadh iad seallaidhean air beatha sna sgìrean iomallach. Bha ùidh mhòr aig a' chòrr dhen dùthaich air faicinn mar a bha croitearan na Gàidhealtachd 's nan Eilean a' tighinn beò, an taighean, 's an t-aodach a bhiodh orra. Sna dealbhan chithear cho buileach cruaidh 's a bha am beatha, a' tighinn beò air talamh a bha creagach, garbh, neo-thorrach.
San dealbh seo tha am fireannach agus an gille air an còmhdach le aodach dèanta à cloimh thiugh na dachaigh. Tha pìos aodaich air a' ghille a th' air a phleatadh mu mheadhan mar fheileadh ach air a dhèanamh à clò. Tha coltas air a bhòtannan gu bheil iad caran ro mhòr dha agus air a chur seachad bho dhaoine na b' aosta san teaghlach, mar a bhiodh an t-aodach air a h-uile duine.

An Truthail
'S e baile beag ann an Siorrachd Inbhir Àir a Deas, ann an àird an iar-dheas Alba a tha anns an t-Sròn[1] neo An Truthail[2] (Beurla: Troon). 'S e caladh le aiseag gu Èirinn-a-Tuath a tha ann, agus bha an Ailsa Shipbuilding Company suidhichte an seo eadar 1885 is 2003. Tha am baile ainmeil airson goilf, 's e fear-an-taighe an Open Golf Championship a tha ann gach seachd bliadhnaichean.

Sòrbais Uachdarach
Is e cànan a tha anns an t-Sòrbais Uachdarach (hornjoserbšćina, Beurla: Upper Sorbian). Buinnidh i don gheug Slàbhach den teaghlach Innd-Eòrpach. Tha an t-Sòrbais Uachdarach dlùth-chàirdeach don t-Sòrbais Ìochdarach, agus tha i faisg cuideachd air an t-Seacais, air an t-Slòbhacais agus air a’ Phòlais. Anns a' Ghearmailt tha inbhe thèarainte is oifigeil aig an t-Sòrbais Uachdarach mar mhion-chànain. [2]
Tha an t-Sòrbais Uachdarach ga bruidhinn ann an Sagsainn, gu h-àraid eadar Bautzen (Budyšin), Kamenz (Kamjenc) agus Hoyerswerda (Wojerecy). Tha mu 13,300 duine a’ cleachdadh Sòrbais Uachdarach mar phrìomh-chànan.
'S e cànan leasaichte a th' innte: tha briathrachas gràmair slàn aice agus chaidh briathrachas teicneolais, ealain no matamataigs a leasachadh agus gabhaidh fiù 's fiosaigs neo ceimig tro mheadhan na Sòrbais teagasg. Thairis air na linntean bha dà chanan Sòrbais Uachdarach ann: tè Uachdarach Chaitligeach agus tè Uachdarach Phròstanach ach bha an dà chànan co-leaghta na b'anmoiche. A bharrachd air sin bha agus tha buaidh làidir aig a' chreideamh air fèin-aithne nan Sòrbach. Thachair e mar eisimpleir gus às dèidh an darna cogaidh, nach do phòs na Sòrbaich Chaitligeach ach ri chèile.
'S e teis-meadhan beatha cultarach a’ chànain seo a tha anns a' bhaile Bautzen neo Budyšin ann an Upper Lusatia. Chìthear sanas-rathaid dà chànanach air feadh a' bhaile.
Eisimpleir[deasaich | deasaich an tùs]
Seo eisimpleir le Sòrbais Uachdarach agus Gàidhlig:
- 1 "a" ma bhios boireannach a' bruidhinn
- 2 facal air fhacal: Ach tha mòran daoine an seo an-diugh.
- 3 ma bhios dithis a' bruidhinn

- ma, ged a, mar a, nuair a, fhad ’s a, on a, a (no an leithid)
Mar eisimpleir:
- Tha thu ann.
- Ciamar a tha fhios agad?
- Ged a tha e beag, tha e glè làidir (ie eisimpleir de tha ann an ‘clàs’)
Tha an riochd a bheil
air a chleachdadh gus faighneachd co-dhiù a tha rud ann no nach eil:
Tha bheil
air a chleachdadh cuideachd ann an suidhichidhean leithid:
- Càit a bheil do leabhar?
- Sin far a bheil mi a’ fuireach.
- Sin am fear aig a bheil iuchair an talla.

Pàpa Innocentius IX
B' e Pàpa Eadailteach a bha ann am Pàpa Innocentius IX (Laideann Innocentius P.P. IX,[1] Bologna,[2] 22 an t-Iuchar 1519 - Cathair na Bhatacain, 30 an Dùbhlachd 1591. B' e Giovanni Antonio Facchinetti an t-ainm a bh' air bho thùs. Chaidh a thaghadh air an 29 an Dàmhair 1591 mar phàpa an dèidh bàs Pàpa Griogair XIV. 'S e an 230mh fear a bh'ann.[3] Bhuineadh e do theaghlach gu math bochd. ‘S e Filip II, Rìgh na Spàinne a thug taic dha mar thagraiche na pàpachd.

Tha mi air a bhith a’ cnuasachadh air ficsean sreathach mòran o chionn greis, agus mar thurchairt, dh’fhoillsich Nerdwriter a’ bhideo gu h-àrd beagan làithean air ais a-mach air an dearbh chuspair. Is toil leam na th’ aige ri ràdh mun chothrom a bheir ficsean sreathach dhan sgrìobhadair sgeulachdan mòran nas motha a chruthachadh, le grunn mòr charactaran nan lùib agus iomadh fo-sgeulachd fighte nam broinn.’S e rud glè tharraingeach a tha sin dhomh.

CHUALA MI BOIREANNACH a bha an sàs san iomairt airson làn-rannsachadh fhaotainn air tubaist bhrònach lann- cluiche Hillsborough a’ bruidhinn air an t-sàrachadh a dh’fhuiling mòran de na bha an sàs fad faisg air an ochd bliadhna fichead bhon a thachair an sgrios uamhasach sin air 15 Giblean 1989.
Tuigidh neach sam bith a th’ air a bhith a’ strì airson còraichean ceartais sam bith cho buailteach ‘s a tha e gun tachair leithid sin de dhìth-mhisneachadh nuair a tha daoine a’ faireachadh gum bheil iad a’ breabadh an aghaidh nan dealg, ‘s gun dòchas adhartais aca.
Tha suidheachadh den t-seòrsa ag iarraidh neart agus diorrasachd, rud glè thric a bhios luchd-iomairt a’ tarraing bho chàch a chèile, gus cumail a’ dol. Ruigidh each mall muileann uaireannan, agus tha soirbheachadh a bhuannaicheas cuid aig amannan an siud ‘s an seo na mhisneachadh dha buidhnean eile, agus nach math gur ann mar sin a tha.
Gu follaiseach tha suidheachadh chòraichean na Gàidhlig glè eadar-dhealaichte bho thubaist uamhasach Hillsborough, ach tha ginealaichean air an aon sheòrsa claoidh fhulang len cuid spàirn às leth a’ chànain. Saoilidh mi nach biodh Gàidhlig ann an staid cho làidir an-diugh mura b’ e na rinn uimhir de Ghàidheil agus caraidean a’ chànain gu saor-thoileach air a son, agus tha feum a-nise mar nach robh riamh roimhe gun cleachd daoine an cànan a h-uile cothrom a gheibh iad. Chan eil teagamh nach e sin an taic as treasa agus as cudromaiche is urrainnear a thoirt dhan Ghàidhlig aig an àm seo oir tha a h-uile còir agus taic eile an urra ri àireamhan luchd-cleachdaidh agus tha an tomhas sin gu bhith nas mionaidiche thar an ùine romhainn le sporain ionmhais phoblaich a’ sìor fhàs nas teinne. Sin cuideachd pàirt den adhbhar airson barrachd aire a bhith ga thoirt dha luchd-cleachdaidh na Gàidhlig air feadh an t-saoghail, oir feumar neart a’ chànain a thomhas air na Gàidheil le chèile.
Mun àm a bhios sibh a’ leughadh seo bidh mise, le ad Chinn-suidhe a’ Chomuinn Ghàidhealaich, a’ gabhail pàirt ann an co-labhairt leis an ainm ‘A’ Ceangal nan Gàidheal’ ann an Ceap Bhreatainn an Alba Nuadh. Ged a tha an t-astar mòr, cho-dhùin sinn gum bu chòir dhan Chomunn gabhail ris a’ chuireadh a tha a’ dlùthachadh Ghàidheal agus a’ toirt cothrom co-obrachaidh às ùr air innleachdan leasachaidh dhan chànan air gach taobh den Chuan an Iar. Tha mi ’n dòchas gum bi buaidh is piseach aig a’ chruinneachadh agus tha mi uasal à Colaiste na Gàidhlig airson a chuir air dòigh. ONE CAN READILY UNDERSTAND the campaign fatigue described by some of those who battled for almost 28 years to achieve a thorough investigation of the 1998 Hillsborough stadium tragedy. Their victory does them great credit. Gaelic language campaigners also frequently experience fatigue and frustration in their pursuit of respect and equality of opportunity for their language. Their resilience does them, and their culture, credit.

Braisil
'S e dùthaich ann an Aimearaga a Deas a tha ann am Braisil,[1][2][3] neo Brasil[4][5] 'S e a' chòigeamh dùthaich as motha a-rèir farsaingeachd agus a-rèir àireamh-shluaigh san t-Saoghal air fad. Tha crìochan aice san tuath leis a' Bheiniseala, le Sùranam, Guidheana agus Guiana Frangach, san iar-thuath le Coloimbia, san iar le Boilibhia agus Pearu, san iar-dheas leis an Argantain agus le Paraguaidh agus san deas le Uruguaidh. Tha an Cuan Siar san ear dhith.
Tha Braisil a’ gabhail a-steach mòran eileanan cuideachd, m. e.:
- Penedos de São Pedro e São Paulo
- Fernando de Noronha
- Trindade and Martim Vaz
- Atol das Rocas

Eachdraidh[deasaich | deasaich an tùs]
Bha an dùthaich gu mòr an sàs gnothach Tràilleachd thar a' Chuain Shiar eadar an 16mh Linn agus an 19mh Linn.
Ainm na dùthcha[deasaich | deasaich an tùs]
Tha deasbad aig an luchd-rannsachaidh cò às a thàinig an t-ainm "Braisil". Tha cuid den bheachd gur e ainm Gàidhealach a th' ann. Tha ceangal làidir leis an ainm Í Breasail san Seann-Ghàidhlig[6][7] Bha an t-ainm sgrìobhte air mapa an t-Saoghail anns an 15mh linn. Bha na h-Èireannaich a' cleachdadh an ainm airson "Tìr nan Òg" cuideachd.

'MAS e goraiche bh'ann uair a thide a chur seachad air beulaibh a' bhocsa Diciadain a' coimhead Blair a' gabhail nam beannachdan ri Taigh nan Cumantan, is docha gur e barrachd goraiche a th'ann a bhith a' cosg uine an drasda a' sgriobhadh mu dheidhinn. Ach cha robh, is chan eil, seachnadh air.'

Chaidh Caisteal Leòdhais ann an Steòrnabhagh, Eilean Leòdhais, a thogail do Shir Seumas MacMhathain ann an 1848 leis an ailtire Teàrlach MacUilleim (Wilson) à Glaschu. Chaidh an grianan-glainne aon-lobhtach a chur ris mu 1875. Ann an gàrraidhean an taighe chaidh mìle cheàrnagach de chraobhan seargach a chur, rud nach fhaicear an àite sam bith eile air na h-Eileanan A-muigh.
Chaidh an caisteal agus an oighreachd a cheannach leis a' Mhorair Leverhulme ann an 1918. Thug e an caisteal do mhuinntir Steòrnabhaigh mar thiodhlac ann an 1923. Chaidh an caisteal a chleachdadh mar àite-fuirich airson criutha an 700mh Naval Air Squadron rè an Dàrna Cogaidh agus anns na 1950an, chaidh a chleachdadh mar àite-fuirich airson oileanaich Colaisde a' Chaisteil.

Chan eil cuimhne agam cuin a bhuail an t-smuain orm; co-dhiù, chuir mi romham gun tadhlainn air Cathair-eaglais Dhùn Chailleann a-rithist “a dh’innse dhi gun do chum mi a’ Bhòid”.
Bha mi a’ sòradh sa mhadainn, on a bha i gu math neulach, ach b’ e seo an deireadh seachdain “fada” mu dheireadh agus chaidh mi ann. Bha i neulach fad an latha agus bha uaireannan an t-uisge ann cuideachd, ach tha mi toilichte gun deach.
Chunnaic mi a-rithist sealladh-dùthcha Thaobh Tatha (ged a bha an cutie a bha na shuidhe thar trannsa na trèana a Pheairt beagan buaireach), Drochaid Dhùn Chailleann (ged a chaill mi an t-astar mus do lorg mi e), Abhainn Tatha, an ceàrnag agus an Cathair-eaglais fhèin. Bha mi nam shuidhe innte air an treast chlì mu dheireadh mar an do rinn mi an-uiridh, ach leam fhìn an turas seo. Dh’innis mi gun robh mi air ais, gheall mi a-rithist na gheall mi ann an Àrd-eaglais Naomh Anndra – agus rinn mi ceann-latha rium fhìn anns an dearbh àite aig deireadh samhraidh no foghar an-ath-bhliadhna.
Chunnaic mi an “taigh-tasgaidh” ann cuideachd, chuir mi seachad greis air lèanag na h-eaglaise a’ coimhead an Tatha, cheannaich mi toitein is The Guardian aig a’ bhùth phàipearan “for old times’ [an-uiridh] sake”, agus as dèidh uair gu leth bha mi a’ dol air ais – ach b’ fhiach e gu dearbh. B’ fhìor thoil leam an turas, uisge ann no às, agus bu thoil leam gun do chuir mi crìoch samhlachail air cearcall beatha eile.
San Tesco air an oidhche, cheannaich mi eadhon canaichean Tennent’s – cha do dh’òl mi alcol gu seo an Alba am bliadhna, ach an dèidh latha mar seo…

Tha daoine measail air na h-Eileanan Siar (10/02/2014)
[Iain MacIlleathain - Preseantair] Feasgar math. Tha coltas gu bheil daoine sìor-fhàs measail air na h-Eileanan Siar. Sheall rannsachadh a rinn a’ chomhairle, HIE agus VisitScotland gun do thadhal còrr air dà cheud mìle duine air na h-Eileanan eadar dà mhìle ‘s a dhà-dheug agus dà mhìle ‘s a trì-deug. Tha sin suas dà fhichead ‘s a sia mìle bho dhà mhìle ‘s a sia. ‘S e daoine a tha a’ tilleadh a th’ ann am mòran dhiubh agus bidh iad cuideachd a’ moladh na sgìre do chàch. Seo Aonghas Dòmhnallach.
[Aonghas Dòmhnallach – Neach-aithris] Tha àireamh na tha a’ tighinn de luchd-turais dha na h-eileanan air èirigh faisg air leth-cheud mìle sa bhliadhna anns na sia bliadhna a chaidh seachad. Agus fhad ‘s a tha iad anns na h-eileanan, tha iad a’ cur mòran airgid dhan eaconomaidh.
[Alasdair MacLeòid] Tha sinn a’ tàladh a-steach timcheall air còrr air dà cheud mìle duine anns a’ bhliadhna agus tha iad a’ cosg còrr air leth-cheud millean, leth-cheud millean ‘s a trì. Nis, 's e cnap mòr airgid dha eaconomaidh beag a tha sin. Agus rud a tha math gu bheil seo a’ fàs bliadhna air bhliadhna. Ach feumaidh sinn cumail a’ strì ri margaidheachd cheart airson chmail a’ tàladh daoine dha na h-eileanan an Iar.
[Aonghas Dòmhnallach – Neach-aithris] Tha luchd-turais air an dòigh le na seirbheisean 's na goireasan a tha iad a’ faighinn. Ach dè cho mòr ‘s a ghabhas an gnìomhachas a’ leudachadh gun tòisich sin a’ dìoladh air na goireasan agus air an àite san fharsaingeachd.
[Ailean MacCoinnich] Chan eil duilgheadas sam bith againn a thaobh a bhith a’ cur daoine ann an leapannan is bracaist sna taighean-òsta is mar sin air adhart. Agus tha sinn a’ faicinn leis ged a tha àrdachadh a’ tighinn tha na h-àiteachan ann dhaibh ‘s a tha daoine ag iarraidh tuilleadh agus diofar rudan agus tha na diofar rudan sin ann airson a bhith an-sàs airson na h-iarrtasan aca.
[Aonghas Dòmhnallach – Neach-aithris] Ged ‘s e naidheachd mhath a th’ ann, tha feum cuideachd air a bhith a’ coimhead air adhart le atharrachadh a’ tighinn air ais thugainn agus farpais làidir bho àiteachan eile.
[Alasdair MacLeòid] Tha fàraidhean a’ phlèana gu math àrd, tha a h-uile duine a’ gearain mu thràth mu dheidhinn a’ bhàt’-aiseig, Loch Seaforth. Nach eil sinn a’ cluinntinn bho CalMac mu dheidhinn a’ chlàir-ama agus feumaidh sinn a bhith faiceallach ged a tha uiread a’ tighinn, dh’fhaodadh gu bheil leth uiread eile nach fhaigh a-nall aig amannan tron t-samhradh nuair a bha na bàtaichean-aiseig làn.
[Ailean MacCoinnich] Tha mi a’ smaoineachadh gu bheil atharrachaidhean ann, an an inntinn dhaoine bliadhna seach bhliadhna co-dhiù ach chan eil mi iomagaineach mu dheidhinn a thaobh sin. Tha mi a’ smaoineachadh gu bheil daoine gu bhith tighinn dha na h-Eileanan nach eil an teas a’ tighinn, ach mar a tha sinne a’ faicinn anns an rannsachadh a tha seo, a’ chuid as motha a tha a’ tighinn, ‘s e daoine a tha a’ tighinn bliadhna às dèidh bliadhna, as dèidh bliadhna. Agus tha mi a’ smaoineachadh gu bheil am fasan sin a’ dol a chumail riutha airson a tha iad a’ faighinn rudan a tha a’ còrdadh riutha agus cumaidh iad orra a’ sireadh nan rudan sin a-mach.
[Aonghas Dòmhnallach – Neach-aithris] Mar sin, dòchas math do thurasachd nan Eilean. Aonghas Dòmhnallach, BBC An Là, ann an Steòrnabhagh.
People like the Western Isles
[Iain MacLean - Presenter] Good evening. It would appear that people have grown very fond of the Western Isles. Research that was commissioned by the council, HIE and VisitScotland showed that two hundred thousand people visited the islands between 2012 and 2013. That is up 46,000. It’s people who are returning that make up the majority and they also recommend the area to others. Here's Angus MacDonald.
[Angus MacDonald – Reporter] The number of tourists who come to the islands has risen by nearly fifty thousand last year. And as long as they are in the islands, they add a lot of money to the economy.
[Alasdair MacLeod] We attracted about more than 200,000 people through the year and they have spent around more than £50,000,000. Now that’s a big chunk of change to a small economy. And it’s a good thing that this grows year on year. But we must keep battling with good marketing to keep attracting people to the Western Isles.
[Angus MacDonald – Reporter] Tourists are pleased with the services and facilities that they get. But how much will the business expand before it starts to impact on the facilities and on the area in general.
[Allan MacKenzie] We don’t have any trouble in putting people in bed and breakfast in the hotels etc. And we see that although there is an increase in the places for them and people want more and different things and the different things are there to meet their needs.
[Angus MacDonald – Reporter] Although, it’s good news. There is a need to look forward with a change coming back to us and strong competition from other places.
[Alasdair MacLeod] The fares for the planes are really high. Everyone is already moaning about the ferry, Loch Seaforth. We don’t hear from CalMac about their timetable and we must be careful although a number are coming, maybe there is another half of that number who cannot come across at times through the summer when the ferries are full.
[Allan MacKenzie] I think there are changes, in the minds of people year on year; anyway I am not too worried about that. I think they are coming to the islands that are not in the middle of things, but as we see in this research, most of those who come, it’s people that come year after year after year. And I think they’ll keep with that fashion as they get things that they like and they keep seeking out those things.
[Angus MacDonald – Reporter] As such there is hope for tourism in the islands. Angus MacDonald, BBC An Là, in Stornoway.

IN07 - William Graham McIvor
In 1848 McIvor, who was born at Dollar and trained at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, became superintendent of the Madras Government’s new botanical garden at Ootacumand (‘Ooty’, now Udhagamandalam) in the Nilgiri Hills of south India. He turned a bare slope into the beautiful garden that is seen to this day. McIvor is more famous for his successful growing of the Peruvian bark shrubs Cinchona succirubra and C. officinalis, sources of quinine used in the fight against malaria. These plants had been smuggled out of Peru and were grown in the Nilgiris in 1861 in plantations at various sites around Ooty including Neddiwattum, Dodabetta and Pykara.
