R&#242;naidh, S&#249;laisgeir, na h-Eileannan Flannach agus na h-Eileannan M&#242;ra. Tha iad air an ainmeachadh &#224;s d&#232;idh diofar Naomhan - tha tr&#236; ann airson Peadar, tr&#236; airson Colmcille, dh&#224; airson M&#224;iri agus mar sin air adhart.</p><p>&#8216;S i an aon eaglais a tha air fh&#224;gail le mullach, bho ro &#224;m an Ath-Leasachaidh ann an Le&#242;dhas. Bho dheireadh thall bhathas ga cleachdadh mar fasgadh airson caoraich gus an do thog iad airgead ann an 1912 airson a dh&#232;anamh an &#224;irde.</p><p>Tha gu le&#242;r sgeulachdan inntinneach eile ceangailte ris an &#224;ite.</p><p>Nuair a thadhal M&#224;rtainn M&#224;rtainn air an &#224;ite ann an 1695, sgr&#236;obh e gun robh n&#224;dar f&#232;ill ann ceangailte ri torrachas air L&#224; nan Naomh Uile. Bha e seo ceangailte ri Shony, seann Dia na mara.</p><p>Bhidh cuideigin a&#8217; coiseachd a-mach dhan mhuir, suas chun an cuid meadhain, agus a&#8217; d&#242;rtadh leann air an uisge. An uair sin, ghabhadh iad drama. Thuirt an Capitein John Dymes ann an 1630:</p><blockquote><p>Their custom was to eat and drink until they were drunk, and then, after much dancing and flirting together, they entered the chapel at night with lights in their hands and stayed there until the next morning in devotion.</p></blockquote><p>Airson &#249;ine mh&#242;r, bha crois shn&#236;omhte uabhasach breagha ann, a th&#224;inig &#224; Eilean R&#242;naidh. Cha deach ach aon eile coltach rithe a lorg air an eilean, bho &#224;m nan Lochlannach. Tha i s&#242;nraichte dha-r&#236;ribh. (Thug an Eaglais Easbaigeach air falbh bhon eilean i, ach tha i a-nis ann an Comann Eachdraidh Nis, an d&#232;idh iomairt a faighinn air ais.)</p><p>Tha a&#8217; chrois seo cuideachd ceangailte ri torrachas. Tha fear ri fhaicinn air a&#8217; chrois a tha gu math toilichte leis fh&#232;in. Cha chan mi an c&#242;rr.</p><p>Cuideach thuirt Dymes:</p><blockquote><p>Inside the chapel there is a sanctum sanctorum which is considered so holy that none of their women are allowed to enter it. Any pregnant woman does not dare to enter the chapel at all, but instead goes to certain places outside to say her prayers.</p></blockquote><p>Leis gu bheil an l&#224;rach cho ceangailte ri torrachas, tha e rudeigin diobhalta gun robh iad a&#8217; toirt air boireannaich bhochda a bha trom suidhe a-muigh, coltach ri Ryanair nam Meadhan Aoisean.</p><p>Tha tobar faisg air l&#224;imh cuideachd, Tobar R&#242;nain, far am biodh daoine cuideachd a&#8217; dol airson leighis airson tinneas-inntinn. Ch&#236; thu &#224; Teampall Mholuaidh i.</p><p>Tha Cnoc a&#8217; Bheannaich meadhanach faisg, agus ann an Nis, tha tr&#236; teampaill eile. &#8216;S fhiach e thadhal orra. Agus mura bheil sin comasach, tha mi air dealbh no dh&#224; a thogail dhuibh.</p><p>Tapadh leibh airson leughadh agus thoirt an aire oirbh fh&#232;in.</p><div
