Bha mi ag innse dhuibh mu Weem 鈥� Uaimh 鈥� ann an Siorrachd Pheairt. Tha e air taobh thall Uisge Tatha o Obar Pheallaidh. Tha uamh gu h-脿rd ann, air Creag an t-Seipeil. Chan eil i ach beag. Ach tha aon rud math mu a deidhinn. Tha tobar ri a taobh. Bha Naomh C霉ithbeart a鈥� fuireach san uaimh anns an t-seachdamh linn.聽

Ach chan e Tobar Ch霉ithbeirt a chanas daoine ris an tobar. Canaidh iad St David鈥檚 Well. Tha mi an d霉il gur e sin Tobar Dhaibhidh ann an G脿idhlig, ach chan eil mi cinnteach.聽

B鈥� e Daibhidh Sir Daibhidh M猫innearach (Sir David Menzies). Bha esan a鈥� fuireach faisg air l脿imh ann an Caisteal Uaimh. Bha e be貌 anns a鈥� cheathramh agus c貌igeamh linn deug. Leig e seachad rudan saoghalta, agus chaidh e a dh鈥檉huireach anns an uaimh.聽

Chruthaich esan an seipeal a thug ainm don chreig. A r猫ir aithris, bha crois mh貌r na laighe air an talamh an sin. Bha taistealaich a鈥� dol air an gl霉inean air a鈥� chrois. Bha iad a鈥� d猫anamh 霉rnaigh ann. Tha p矛osan beaga dhen chrois ann an Eaglais Uaimh.

Tha an t-Urramach Te脿rlach MacDhonnchaidh ag innse dhuinn gu bheil d脿 uaimh air Creag Uaimh. Aig bonn na creige, tha an d脿rna t猫. 始S e an t-ainm a tha oirre Toll nan Tr矛 Nigheanan. The hole of the three girls. Toll nan Tr矛 Nigheanan.

Tha sgeulachd co-cheangailte ris an uaimh seo. Chuir Baintighearna Uaimh a dithis nighean agus a nighean-dalta don Chreig. Bha iad a鈥� dol a lorg laogh a bha air chall. Thug a鈥� Bhaintighearna B矛oball gu t猫 de a nigheanan. Bha sin airson an d矛on an aghaidh buidseachd.

Chaidh a鈥� chlann-nighean don uaimh. Chuala iad fuaim coltach ri fuaim laoigh bhon uaimh. Bha an nighean aig an robh am B矛oball air a thoirt don nighinn-dalta. Chuir am B矛oball stad air an nighinn-dalta bho bhith a鈥� dol a-steach. Bha olc anns an uaimh. Bha an nighean-dalta air a s脿bhaladh. Bha p矛osan de chuirp na dithis eile air an lorg gu h-脿rd ann an Loch Glasaigh. Bha an loch sin ainmeil oir bha each-uisge a鈥� fuireach ann.

I was telling you about Weem 鈥� Uaimh 鈥� in Perthshire. Its across the River Tay from Aberfeldy. There is a cave there high up on Chapel Rock. It鈥檚 only small. But there is one thing that is good about it. There is a well adjacent to it. St Cuthbert was living in the cave in the seventh century.

But people do not call the well St Cuthbert鈥檚 Well. They say St David鈥檚 Well. I reckon that is Tobar Dhaibhidh in Gaelic but I鈥檓 not certain.

David was Sir David Menzies. He was living nearby in Castle Menzies. He was alive in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. He abandoned worldly things, and he went to live in the cave.

He created the chapel that gave its name to the Rock. Apparently, there was a large cross lying on the ground there. Pilgrims were going on their knees on the cross. They were praying there. Fragments of the cross are in Weem Kirk.

The Rev. Charles Robertson tells us that there are two caves on Weem Rock. At the bottom of the Rock, there is the second one. Its name is Toll nan Tr矛 Nigheanan. The hole of the three girls. Toll nan Tr矛 Nigheanan.

There is a story connected to this cave. The Lady of Weem sent her two daughters and her stepdaughter to the Rock. They were going to find a calf that was lost. The Lady cave a Bible to one of her daughters. That was to protect them against witchcraft.

The girls went to the cave. They heard a noise like the noise of a calf from the cave. The girl who had the Bible had given it to the stepdaughter. The Bible stopped the stepdaughter from going inside. There was evil in the cave. The stepdaughter was saved. Parts of the bodies of the other two were found high up in Loch Glassie. That loch was famous because a water-horse (kelpie) lived there.
