San nobhail ùir, tha sinn ann an eathar beag an cuideachd sianar Arannach air an t-slighe gu bhith a’ suidhe air an diùraidh aig cùirt an t-seisein ann an Inbhir Aora aig toiseach an 19mh linn. Cho luath ’s a dh’fhàgas an t-eathar an cidhe aig Tràigh a’ Chaisteil ann an Arainn teannaidh rudan ri dhol ceàrr, togaidh conas ceann is na chois thig peacaidhean nam fear am follais. An ruig na fir a’ chùirt ann an tìde is ma ruigeas am bi e an comas dhaibh breitheanas a thoirt a-mach air an co-chreutairean le cogais ghlan?
