Bha sinn ann an Gleann S矛dh an t-seachdain sa chaidh. Agus tha sinn ann fhathast. Tha 脿ite ann air a bheil Finegand ann am Beurla. 鈥橲 e sin F猫ith nan Ceann. Seo mar a dh鈥櫭╥rich an t-ainm.

Bha oifigearan siorraim anns an sg矛re. Bha iad a鈥� togail ch矛sean. Chaidh iad gu taigh aig banntrach. Bha i bochd. Bha gl猫 bheag de dh鈥檃irgead aig a鈥� bhoireannach ri l脿imh. Thug na h-oifigearan leotha an spr猫idh aice. Bha am boireannach troimh-ch猫ile.

Chuir i fios gu ceann-cinnidh Chlann 鈥檌c Thomaidh. Thug esan daoine leis. Thachair an d脿 bhuidhinn ri ch猫ile aig an drochaid thairis air an fh猫ith. Th貌isich argamaid. Bha sabaid ann. Chaidh fear de na h-oifigearan a mharbhadh. Gh猫ill c脿ch. Ach rinn fear dhiubh mearachd. 鈥淎 MhicThomaidh Mh貌ir,鈥� thuirt e, 鈥渋s sinne muinntir an R矛gh agus bheir sinn fianais nad aghaidh.鈥�

Fhreagair MacThomaidh M貌r, 鈥淐ha bhi luchd-fianais ann.鈥� Thug e 貌rdugh na h-oifigearan siorraim a mharbhadh. Thug e 貌rdugh cinn nam marbh a ghearradh dhiubh. Thug e 貌rdugh eile na cinn a thilgeil don fh猫ith. Bhon uair sin, 鈥檚 e F猫ith nan Ceann a bh鈥� air an fh猫ith sin.

Bha droch bheachd aig an riaghaltas air Clann 鈥檌c Thomaidh. Aig a鈥� cheann thall, fhuair iad d矛oghaltas. Chaill Clann 鈥檌c Thomaidh am fearann aca.

Ceithir m矛le gu tuath air F猫ith nan Ceann tha 脿ite air a bheil, ann am Beurla, Spittal of Glenshee. Ann an G脿idhlig, 鈥檚 e sin Spideal Ghlinn S矛dh. 鈥橲 d貌cha gum faca sibh an t-ainm sin ann an 脿iteachan eile 鈥� Spideal. Tha Dalsnapidal faisg air Dail Chuinnidh. 鈥橲 e sin Dail na Spideil. Tha Spideal a鈥� ciallachadh 脿ite far an robh luchd-siubhail a鈥� faighinn cuid na h-oidhche. 鈥橲 e sin biadh is leabaidh.

Tha mi a鈥� smaoineachadh gu bheil am facal a鈥� tighinn bhon Laidinn hospitium. Th脿inig am facal ospadal bhon aon fhreumh. Agus, ann am Beurla, hospital is hospice. Faisg air Spideal Ghlinn S矛dh tha beinn a tha ainmeil. Is ise Beinn Ghulbain. Tha i co-cheangailte ri t猫 de na sgeulachdan as ainmeile a th鈥� againn. Innsidh mi dhuibh mu dheidhinn sin an ath-sheachdain.
