An Mhuc Dhubh
Ceann de na tairngireachtaí a rinne Colmcille, agus rinne sé cuid mhór, ná go rithfeadh Muc Dhubh fríd sléibhte Thír Chonaill agus í ag séideadh toit as a gaosán, nó a srón. Duirt sé go bhfillfeadh an tsíocháin sa tír nuair a thiocfadh an Mhuc Dhubh ar ais. Tháinig an tsíocháin ar an chéad lá de Mheán Fómhair 1994 agus tháinig an Mhuc Dhubh ar an 3ú lá de Mheitimh, 1995 - díreach glan céad bliain ón lá ar rith an chéad traein idir Bhealach Féich agus na gleanntaigh.

"An Mhuc Dhubh translates as the Black Pig. This was how locals christened the arrival of the first steam engine 100 years ago."
Really, only 100 years ago? |

quote:Ceann de na tairngireachtaí a rinne Colmcille, agus rinne sé cuid mhór... Feicim gur thóg tú an míniú sin ó shuíomh idirlín an C.T.G.L. Ba mhaith an mhaise duit an méid sin a rá linn, a Phádraig, nó comharthaí athfhriotail a chur air, ar a laghad. Give credit where it is due. Bhí mé ar tí ceist faoi bhunús na tairngearachta sin a chur ort, ach is léir anois nach mbeifeá in ann freagra a thabhairt dom.

O, ar mhaithe le neimhe. Athscríob mé an sliocht do saothar a choigilt. Agus shuimigh Aonghus an URL. Trí mo mhórchoir féin.

As ucht Dé; in ainm Dé; nó ar mhaithe le neimhe.
That's what happens outside of immersion. Reminds me of Harriet Beecher Stowe's
Little House of Uncle Thomas.
