Naidheachd a Inlthir-Asdail
BARD THURNAIG (Alasdair Gamshron, 1848-1933) [air a leantainn)
Le IAIN AN FHEILIDH
“ Is iomadh urram a thainig am rathad-sa
mar Rimair a’ Chomuinn Ghaidhealaich,” arsa
Mgr. Niall MacGhille-Sheathanaich, “ ach tha
mi a’ meas gur e seo urram cho &rd is a
b’urrainn mo cho-Ghaidheil a chur orm, cuireadh
a thoirt dhomh labhairt aig cruinneachadh mor
mai seo, agus luaidh a dheanamh air bard is
seanachaidh cho measail cliiiiteach ri Bard
Thiirnaig. Tha e ann an leabhraichean a’
Chomuinn gu robh duais aige fhein agus agamsa
aig an naodhamh Mod deug. An ionghnadh
leibh uaill a bhith oim as a’ chothrom seo ? An
uaii a bha e fein agus mise a’ farpais aig Modan
da fhichead bliadhna air ais, cha robh Mrd na
Oliadhna air a chrimadh mar a tha sinn a’
deanamh an diugh. Ach chan ’eil Alasdair
Camshron gun chrimadh. An uair a r&inig e
ceann-uidhe Tir nan Og chuir Oisean fein crim
air, agus an d6idh sin threoraich e e gu Nuadh
Valhalla nam Bard.
“ Sibhse a tha an seo ’gam eisdeachd, thugaibh
boid nach faigh a’ Ghiidhlig bcis, agus nach
eirich ginealach ann an Inbhir Asdail nach bi
comasach air bardachd agus rosg Alasdair
Chamshroin a leughadh agus a thuigsinn.”
Bha an sluagh mor a bha a lathair aig Inbhii
lubh, an uair a bha Carn a’ Bhaird air a fhoill-
seachadh, anabarrach toilichte gur i Bean
Uasal Inbhir lubh fhein a thug a nuas am brat.
Chunnaic sinne a bha ann, an latha sin—agus
chi iadsan a bhios ann ’na dheidh seo, re nan
linntean a tha ri teachd—an teisteas seo a tha
air a’ Cham :
In Memory of
ALEXANDER CAMERON,
The Tournaig Bard,
1848-1933
who lived all his long, useful, and highly
respected life on- the moors
around Loch Ewe, and whose Gaelic poems
and songs earned for him
a wide and an honoured reputation
throughout the North
“ Is gldrmhor obair ndduir fein,
A’ ghrian ag dradh nedil nan speur,
Cuan ’na chdmhnard, boidheach reidh,
Torman seimh aig seist nan allt.”
(“ Moladh Thurnaig ”)
