Sgeulachdan Eilthirich

Thachair a’ chiad eilthireachd às na h-eileanan air a bheil fhios againn am meadhan na 1700an.

Thachair a’ chiad eilthireachd às na h-eileanan air a bheil fhios againn am meadhan na 1700an, as dèidh Blàr Chùil-Lodair agus am measg na gnàth-shìde mì-chinnteach a bh’ aca aig deireadh Linn Beag na Deighe.

Bhon uairsin, tha daoine air a bhith a’ fàgail na h-eileanan nan dròbhan, à Barraigh agus Uibhist a Deas gu Eilean a’ Phrionnsa agus Ceap Bhreatainn, às na Hearadh agus Uibhist a Tuath gu Ceap Bhreatainn agus Astràilia, agus à Leòdhas gu Ontario agus Quebec, am measg ghluasadan eile.

Caitriona Aonghais Ruaraidh

Horgabost to Australia They say that if you once leave home it doesn’t matter how far you go – and that surely must apply to me, for I am right on the opposite side of the world from where I was born in Cuidinish. I am Catriona Aonghais Ruairidh, and my people came originally from […]

Margaret MacKinnon

Seilebost to Manitoba My name is Margaret MacKinnon – Mairead Phannaidh – and my father’s name, Panny, is short for Bannatyne, for my great grandfather’s father was called after Lord Bannatyne, whose family had the farm at Luskentyre at one time – and they say that he got a golden guinea as a christening present […]
