An t-seachdain sa chaidh, bha mi ag innse dhuibh mu Loch mo N脿ire ann an Srath Nabhair, is mar a bha m貌ran dhen bheachd gu robh uisge draoidheil ann. An-diugh, tha mi a鈥� dol a thoirt cunntas air mar a bhiodh fear a bha tinn a鈥� d猫anamh leigheas air fh猫in anns an loch. Bhiodh e a鈥� dol ann ann an dorchadas na h-oidhche agus, nuair a thigeadh a鈥� chiad aiteal de sholas an l脿, chuireadh e a chuid aodaich dheth agus rachadh e don uisge.

Thilgeadh e bonn airgid fad鈥� a-mach don loch, agus chuireadh e a cheann fodha tr矛 tursan. Agus gach turas, dh鈥檌arradh e air spiorad an uisge faighinn cuidhteas a thinneis. An uair sin, chuireadh e aodach air a-rithist, agus bhiodh e a鈥� coiseachd gu deiseil timcheall an locha. Dh鈥檉heumadh e an uair sin teicheadh ann an cabhaig. Bha aige ri d猫anamh cinnteach gu robh an loch a-mach 脿 sealladh mus biodh a鈥� ghrian air 猫irigh.

Fad na h-霉ine sin dh鈥檉heumadh e a bhith s脿mhach, gun facal a r脿dh ach a-mh脿in ri spiorad an uisge. Nan leanadh e an d貌igh sin, bhiodh cothrom math aige faighinn cuidhteas an tinneis a bha a鈥� bualadh air, a r猫ir beul-aithris co-dhi霉.

Thathar ag aithris gum biodh na h-uibhir de dhaoine a鈥� dol gu ruige Loch mo N脿ire eadhon tr脿th anns an fhicheadamh linn, agus gum biodh sluagh m貌r m貌r ann air a鈥� chiad Dhiluain dhen L霉nastal gach bliadhna. Thigeadh iad cruinn aig an loch eadar meadhan-oidhche is uair sa mhadainn.

Thathar ag aithris gum bithear a鈥� lorg buinn airgid anns an loch, is gu bheil iad air am milleadh le uisge searbh an locha. Ach thathar a鈥� toirt rabhadh do dhaoine gun a bhith a鈥� toirt nam bonn air falbh. Oir ma n矛 duine sin, gheibh e fh猫in an dearbh thinneas a bh鈥� air an euslainteach a thilg am bonn don loch anns a鈥� chiad 脿ite.

Chan eil fhios agam cia mheud duine a tha a鈥� creidsinn a leithid an-diugh, eadhon anns an sg矛re fh猫in. Agus tha fhios nach robh a h-uile duine a鈥� gabhail ris co-dhi霉, fi霉 鈥檚 nuair a bhiodh na ceudan a鈥� tighinn cruinn air bruach Loch mo N脿ire. Seo naidheachd eile 脿s an sg矛re a tha a鈥� sealltainn taobh eile dhen ghnothach.

Bha seann bhoireannach a bha seo a鈥� fuireach leatha fh猫in. Cha robh comas coiseachd aice agus, mar sin, dh鈥檌arr i air balach a b鈥� aithne dhi dhol don loch as a leth air L脿 Buidhe Bealltainn, is botal dhen uisge a thoirt air ais dhi. Dh鈥檌arr i air sin a dh猫anamh gu sgiobalta, gun a bhith a鈥� caitheamh 霉ine air an rathad.

Ach, air an rathad a dh鈥檌onnsaigh an locha, thachair an gille ri balaich eile a b鈥� aithne dha, is chuir e seachad 霉ine c貌mhla riutha. Agus dh矛ochuimhnich e mun uisge bhon loch. Nuair a chuimhnich e mu dheidhinn, bha am feasgar ann agus bha e air a bhith dorch mus fhaigheadh e ann agus air ais gu taigh na caillich. An 脿ite tilleadh gun uisge sam bith, lion e am botal anns an abhainn, seach anns an loch, agus thug e don bhoireannach e gun guth a r脿dh.

Bha i air leth toilichte agus thug i a beannachd dha, oir cha robh c脿il a dh鈥檉hios aice nach ann bhon loch a th脿inig e. Dh鈥櫭瞝 i an t-uisge agus, ceart gu le貌r, bha deagh shl脿inte aice chun an l脿 air an do chaochail i. Agus bha i a鈥� cumail a-mach chun an l脿 sin gum b鈥� e an t-uisge coisrigte sin an aon stuth-leigheis a rinn feum dhi a-riamh!
