BEATHA LIFE
Mrs Gallagher?
Yes. An almost regal-looking
lady, with a youthful complexion, white hair and a keen eye, regarding me with
curiosity, but not suspicion.
I’m sorry to bother you. I’m cutting about
looking for people with the local Gaelic. A bheil
Gàilig agaibh? (Is Gaelic at-you?)
Tha. ([It] is). The MacKays
returned triumphant! And Hope slunk back out of the Kyle, somewhat self-conscious,
trying to look casual and hoping not to be seen.
thánaig mi seo bho cheann ùine mhóir a’
rùrachamh Alick George. I had been here before
seeking Alick George, but he had been out when I’d called, ach tha e air
falbh a-nis, nach eil? (but he’s away now, isn’t he?)
tha, theirig Alick George. (yes, Alick George died). I had arrived in Melness late one afternoon in
2010 and had gone to the door of their most knowledgable son, the house of the
magical man that was Alick George MacKay, whom I know only from
recordings lifted by those lucky enough to meet him. My daughter Eilidh and
I had knocked at the door, waiting for the roar of the retroflex R under those
unmistakable black eyebrows, but got nothing. We had somewhere to be that night
and had to leave and so it was we missed the great man, most likely by a matter
of minutes.
