HUGH m'dONALD. 43
Ata f ios ag a h-uile duine gu ro luchd foghlum iomadh
ceud bliadhna anu an I Cholumchille ; na lorg sin bha fogluni
coitchinte feadh na Gaidheldochd, agus chain eil teagamh
nach robh laoidhean Oisein aca scribhte a measg a h-uile
foglum eile ; ach an uair a threig iad I Cholumchille agus
a chaidh iad do Ghlascho, thug iad leo an cuid leobhraichin
far an robh daoine ag nach robh uirid mheas ar Gaidhlic.
Ach is e buille is truime f huair a chanallse riamh, gun
deachaidh an teaghlach righeil do Shaghsar, agus gu robh
mor uaislin na Gaidheldochd ga 'n leantuin ; biia iad sin
aig tabhart cleachdai, agus canail Shaghsan agus na
Galltachd air an ais.
Bha barachd coinaeasgadh bho 'u aimsir sin eador Gaidhel
agus Gaill, agus bha riaghladh na vioghachd uile ag aidh-
reapacha gus a chanailse chur as, gus a robh na Gaidhel,
lion beg is beg ag call an tlachd do ghnathachadh, agus do
mheasalachd canail neartmlioir an sinnseara, ar chor is nach
mor nach deachaidh iad air caali gu lèir. Cha b'ionnan so,
is do na Gaidhil Eirionach ag nach robh urid chocheangal
ri canail air bi eile, agus ar an abharsin a ghleidh ant
sheann lamh scriobhaidh Gliaidhealdach gun tniaileadh
an dèigh dhi dol a cleachda annsa Ghaidheldoch. Bu
chleachdach le uaislin na Gaidheldochd scriobhadh ann a
Laidin agus an Gaidhlic mu 'n talnig Bearla na measg. Be
Ruairidh mor, ceannard shil Leoid, an t uachdaran mu dhe-
ridh anns na duchannanse a lean ris a Chleachdasa.
Thainig e gu ar niunsaidh ann seanachas gach cearn dhe
'n duthaich bho shean, gu robh Oisen ro aosda, agus gun
robh e re tamail gun f hradharc ann an d^ridh a laidhin ;
na lorg so a ta c bho chian na ghna f hocal annsa Ghaidh-
eldochd a radh re duine aosda a chaill a chairdin agus
a luchd cclais, " gu bhuil e xiiar Oisein an deidh na
Feinne.''
