EIGG GAELIC with the late Màiri-Anna Dhomhnallach (2011)
Performed by Iain MacRàth & Róna DhomhnallachWith the voice of Gillebrìde MacIlleMhaoilThursday 12th January, 2017CAILLEACH AN DÙDAIN (lit. carlin of the milldust)Read by Àdhamh Ó BroinCurious character dance, described as follows in Carmina Gadelica: "It is danced by a man and a woman. The man has a rod in his right hand, variously called slachdan druidheachd, (druidic wand) and slachdan geasachd, (magic wand). The man and the woman gesticulate and attitudinize before one another, dancing round and round, in and out, crossing and recrossing, changing and exchanging places. The man flourishes the wand over his own head and over the head of the woman whom he touches with the wand and who falls down, as if dead, at his feet. He bemoans his dead "carlin," dancing and gesticulating round her body. He then lifts up her left hand and looking into the palm, breathes upon it and touches it with the wand. Immediately the limp hand becomes alive and moves from side to side and up and down. He rejoices and dances round the figure on the floor. Having done the same to the right hand and to the left and right foot in succession, they also become alive and move. Though the limbs are living, the body is still inert. The man kneels over the woman and breathes into her mouth and touches her heart with the wand. The woman comes to life and springs up confronting the man. Then the two dance vigorously and joyously as in the first part. The tune varies with the varying phases of the dance. It is played by a piper or fiddler, or sung as a “port-a-beul" (mouth-tune) by a looker-on or by the performers themselves. The air is quaint and irregular and the words which are curious and archaic commence as follows: — "Cailleach an dùdain, dùdain, dùdain, cailleach an dùdain, cum do dheireadh rium."from "Dwelly's Pronouncing Gaelic Dictionary"
CAILLEACH AN DÙDAIN le Iain MacRàth, Róna Dhomhnallach, Gillebrìde MacIlleMhaoil & Àdhamh Ó Broin
The late John Angus Miller describes the situation of Gaelic in Latheron Parish when he was young, recites a phrase he remembers his mother using and talks about locals who had the language. It is likely that Gaelic ceased to be a spoken vernacular in the area sometime between 1955 and 1975.

SGIOBA DÒRLACH A-MACH AIR CHUAIRT A-RITHISTBho chionn beagan sheachdainnean, chaidh Dòrlach a-mach air an rathad gus cumail orra leis an obair-chruinneachaidh a tha air a bhith air dòigh air son a’ cheisteachain againn.A few weeks ago, Dòrlach went out on the road in order to keep going with the collection work that has been underway for our questionnaire.Seo agaibh Seumas mór MacFhionnlaigh, Àdhamh Ó Broin agas Ian “an Cléiteanach” Clayton.Here are the crew, named above.‘S e an aobhar air son an ceisteanair gu bheil sinn air son ionnsachadh dé na facail a bhios air an cleachdadh fhathast am measg muinntir Gàidhealtachd na h-Alba.The reason for the questionnaire is that we are for learning which words are still used amongst the native inhabitants of Scottish Gaeldom.’S e na tha fa-near dhuinn a shoilleireachadh gu bheil prógram mór déireannach de chruinneachadh a dhìth sna mìosan a tha romhainn leis gu bheil facail a’ dol à cuimhne ’s daoine a’ gabhail rathad na fìrinne mus faigh sinn an cothrom ionnsachadh bhuapa.Our intention is to clarify the fact that a final systematic collection is necessary in the months that lie ahead of us due to the fact that words are going out of memory and people are taking the road of truth (passing away) before we get the chance to learn from them.Feumaidh sinn taic fhaighinn cho luath ’s as urrainn dhuinn gus na facail Ghàilig a tha air fhàgail a chruinneachadh gus an toirt seachad do na coimhearsnachdan às am bun iad air son nam blianaichean ri thighinn.We must secure support as quickly as we can and collect the Gaelic words that are left in order to give them back to the communities they belong to for future use.Tuilleadh dhealbhan an ceann ghreis!More pictures in a little while!#Gàidhlig #Gaelic #Scottishgaelic #Dùthchasach #Tùsanach #Indigenous #Cleachdi #Alba #Scotland #Gàidhealtachd #Highlands #Gàidheal #Gael #Gaels #Highlander #Highlanders #ÀdhamhÓBroin #Carthannas #Charity #Clan #Feildwork #Ardnamurchan … See MoreSee Less
