BBC Radio nan Gàidheal - Tilleadh Dhachaigh, Seathaigearraidh agus Òs

Tha Ailean Caimbeul a' tadhal air Seathaigearraidh 's an uair sin Òs, baile Màiri Mhòr.

Tha Ailean Caimbeul a' tadhal air Seathaigearraidh agus Òs, baile Màiri Mhòr nan Òran. Allan Campbell explores the villages of Shagarry and Ose on the shores of Loch Bracadale.

Tha Murchadh Peutan a' sealltainn a' Lag Bhuidhe aig Seathaigearraidh do dh' Ailean Caimbeul agus ag innse mar a bhiodh Clann 'IcLeòid a' cruinneachadh a seo a' dol gu batal agus cuideachd mun eachdraidh ghoiriseachail a th' aig an àite an co-cheangal ri Clann 'IcLeòid agus Soitheach nan Daoine, the William. 

Às dèidh sin tha iad a' gabhail sgrìob a bhaile Òis, air a robh a' bhana-bhàird Màiri Mhòr cho measail, ged nach b' ann a rugadh i. Tha iad cuideachd a' beachdachadh air an ainm Òs. Cluinndih sinn cuideachd mar a chaidh croitear a chuir às a dhachaigh an Gleann 'IcAsgaill 's mar a sheòl e mullach an taigh aige sìos an abhainn agus a shlaod e e tarsainn Loch Bhràcadail. 


Allan Campbell and Murdo Beaton visit Lag Buidhe at Seathaigearraidh where MacLeod clansmen traditionally mustered before heading to battle. They discuss the MacLeod Clan position in the 1745 Jacobite uprising and Murdo tells of the 'white slavery scandal which could have led to the MacLeod and MacDonald Clan Chiefs being charged. While the matter was "hushed up" Murdo believes that the threat of legal action was used by the Hanoverian government to prevent MacLeod supporting the Jacobites. Allan and Murdo move on to Ose and discuss the famous Gaelic bardess Mary MacPherson who is strongly associated with the area although she was born and raised in Snizort. They also discuss Glen MacAskill and Murdo describes how a crofter of that clan was evicted from there and floated the roof timbers of his home down the Ose River and towed them across Loch Bracadale. Allan comments on the Norse origin of the word Ose.
