Uaimh Slochd a' Mhadaidh

Dearbh-aithne: QZP40_U8130880_P006 TUAIRISGEUL: 'S ann o 'In the Hebrides', le C F Gòrdan Cumming (1883) a tha an dealbh seo. Tha uamh agus bogha mara nàdarra faisg air Stafainn san Eilean Sgitheanach ri fhaicinn ann. 'S e Slochd a' Mhadaidh a th' air an ionad agus tha e faisg air Bàgh Chill Maol Luaig, a tha air ainmeachadh air an naomh sin. Tha an t-ùghdar ag innseadh mar a tha an uaimh le mias chruinn ann, agus na cliathaichean creagach aice a' fosgladh a-steach gu iomadach uaimh fhada, dhomhainn. Tha i a' dol air adhart: 'Tiny jelly-fish, edged with lilac spots and long white fringe, floated beside the delicate pink seaweeds in the clear green water; and as we looked upward to the deep blue sky, we saw that the rock was crowned with heather, and ferns, and tall grasses, changing from golden cream to silvery, as the light wind rippled over them, though no breath of air stirred near us. And from every cleft in the rock grew tall spikes of crimson fox-gloves ... And clusters of blue-bells, and all manner of flowers, blue and white and yellow.' Rugadh Constance Frederica Gòrdon Cumming do theaghlach Albannach a bha beartach. Shiubhail i fad is farsaing, cha b' ann a-mhàin ann an Alba ach ann an iomadh dùthaich chèin, nam measg na h-Innseachan, an Èipheit, Ceylon, Fiji, California, Sìona, Iapàn agus Hawaii.
