Fàilte ort, Iain Thormoid. Innis who has a special interest in shinty. Welcome, John Norman. Tell us dhuinn an toiseach, ma-thà, ciamar a chuir thu fhèin eòlas air a' gheama a tha seo first of all how you were introduced to this game we call shinty? ris an can sinn iomain. IAIN TORMOD: JOHN NORMAN: Uill, tha mi a' creidsinn gur ann anns an sgoil a thòisich mi fhìn. Bhiodh iomain Well, I think it was in school that I first started. We played shinty in againn anns a' bhun-sgoil, ach chan e iomain mar a bha mi fhìn eòlach air nuair a primary school, but it wasn't the sort of shinty I got used to after chaidh mi dhan àrd-sgoil a bh' ann. Cha robh camain cheart mar sin againn. Ach moving to secondary school. We didn't have proper camans as such. nuair a chaidh mi dhan àrd-sgoil, ghabh mi ùidh mhòr anns an iomain, agus bha But when I went to secondary school, I took more of an interest in aon duine, tha mi a' creidsinn gu sònraichte a bha a' togail an ùidh againn anns an shinty, and there was one man especially who encouraged my interest iomain, agus 's e sin DR Dòmhnallach, a bha a' teagasg Gàidhlig. Mar sin, bhithinn in shinty, and that was DR MacDonald, who taught Gaelic. So I used to a' cluich iomain a h-uile feasgar Dihaoine. Bha cothroman againn a bhith a' dol a- play shinty every Friday afternoon. We had the opportunity to go out mach 's a bhith a' feuchainn rudan eadar-dhealaichte agus bhithinn a' cluich an and try different things and I used to play then in school and I carried uairsin anns an sgoil agus chùm mi orm nuair a chaidh mi dhan an oilthigh on playing shinty when I went to university too and after I returned cuideachd a' cluich iomain agus às dèidh nuair a thill mi dhan oilthigh agus bha mi from university I was then a teacher myself, and I then did a lot of fhìn a' teagasg bha mi an uairsin a' dèanamh tòrr trèanadh còmhla ri na balaich training with the young lads and I continued like that for many years, òga 's chùm mi orm thairis air na bliadhnaichean mar sin, a' cluich beagan ach a' playing a little, but doing more work with young people. dèanamh barrachd obair còmhla ri òigridh. SEUMAS: JAMES: Seadh. Ciamar a chaidh fear nach robh a' cluich mòran iomain sa bhun-sgoil, mar Right. How did someone who didn't play much shinty in primary a thuirt thu fhèin, ciamar a chaidh a tharraing dhan a' ghèam cho sgiobalta nuair a school, as you yourself said, how did he become so keen on this game chaidh e dhan an àrd-sgoil? so quickly after moving to secondary school? 1/5 AG12: Agallamh le Iain Tormod MacLeòid: Iomain Interview with John Norman MacLeod: Shinty Presenter: Seumas Dòmhnallach (James MacDonald) IAIN TORMOD: JOHN NORMAN: Uill, a-rithist, cha robh mòran 's dòcha bhon an sgìre agam fhìn anns a' chiad dol a- Well, again, there weren't many people from my local area who played mach a' cluich. Cha bhiodh sinn a' cluich, fhios agad, às dèidh na sgoile no càil dhe in the first place. We didn't play, you know, after school or anything sin. Ach chanainn fhìn gur e sin a bh' ann, dìreach gun do ghabh mi iomain nuair a like that. But I'd say that's what it was, just that I tried shinty when I chaidh mi dhan an àrd-sgoil agus bha e a' còrdadh rium math fhèin. 'S bha tòrr went to secondary school and I really enjoyed it. And also a lot of the dhe na balaich an uairsin cuideachd a bha a' gabhail Gàidhlig, bha mise a' lads at that time were taking Gaelic, and I felt they were with us. As a faireachadh. Bha iad còmhla rinn. Mar sin, bhiodh tòrr fealla-dhà againn 's mean result, we had a great laugh, and little by little, I think shinty was air mhean, tha mi a' smaoineachadh gu robh iomain dìreach a' fàs nas làidire anns becoming more popular in the school, too and so that also encouraged an sgoil cuideachd agus, mar sin, bha sin a' togail m' ùidh. my interest. SEUMAS: JAMES: Do dhuine nach eil eòlach air iomain, innis dhuinn mun a' ghèam. Dè an seòrsa For someone who knows very little about shinty, tell me about the gèam a th' ann? game. What sort of game is it? IAIN TORMOD: JOHN NORMAN: Uill, 's e ... Tha mi a' creidsinn gur e a' chiad rud mu dheidhinn tha thu ga chluich Well, it's ... I suppose the first thing about it is that it's played with a le caman, agus ... Innis dhomh dè a th' ann an caman. Uill, caman, 's e tha, maide, caman, and ... Explain to me what a caman is. Well, a caman is ... I dh'fhaodadh tu a ràdh anns an dòigh sin a th' ann. Tha e air a dhèanamh de fiodh suppose in a way, you could say it's a stick. It's made from different eadar-dhealaichte, ach tha an caman, faodaidh tu a bhualadh taobh seach taobh. types of wood, but the caman, you can strike with either side of it. Bidh daoine ag ràdh, "O tha iomain coltach ri hocaidh." Uill, chan eil anns an dòigh People say, "Oh, shinty is like hockey." Well, it isn't in that respect. sin idir. Tha ... Faodaidh tu a bhualadh bho gach taobh. Ma tha thu a' cluich, can, You ... You can strike with either side of it. If you're playing, for anns an loidhne dìon aig a' chùlaibh bhiodh caman nas motha agad airson am ball example, in the defensive line at the back, you'd have a larger caman a thogail nas àirde. Ma tha thu a' cluich anns an loidhne toisich, aig an aghaidh, to lift the ball higher. If you're playing in the attacking line, at the bhiodh an caman agad ... bhiodh e caran flat mar a chanadh sinn airson am ball a front, your caman would be ... it would be quite flat, as we'd say to chumail ìosal. keep the ball low. 2/5 AG12: Agallamh le Iain Tormod MacLeòid: Iomain Interview with John Norman MacLeod: Shinty Presenter: Seumas Dòmhnallach (James MacDonald) IAIN TORMOD: JOHN NORMAN: 'S e gèam gu math luath a th' ann, gèam cruaidh a th' ann ann an tòrr dhòighean It's a very fast-paced game, a very hard game in many ways and you agus feumaidh deagh shùil a bhith agad. Feumaidh tu a bhith math air am ball a need a good eye. You have to be able to hit the ball well too, but I feel bhualadh cuideachd, ach tha mi a' faireachadh an seòrsa gèam a th' ann, tha thu that it's the type of game where you're really playing against the player gu mòr tha thu a' cluich an aghaidh an duine a tha thu suas na aghaidh, fhios marking you, you know? It's very ... You know, you aren't ... The team agad? Tha e gu math ... Fhios agad, chan eil thu ... Tha an sgioba cudromach, ach is important, but I'd say the player you're up against is also important. tha e cudromach cuideachd cò a tha thusa a' cluich na aghaidh, chanainn.

Oh, it's a great game in that respect. agus ... Och, gèam math anns an dòigh sin. SEUMAS: JAMES: Bhruidhinn thu an siud air a bhith a' bualadh a' bhuill suas is sìos a' phàirce. Dè an You spoke there about hitting the ball up and down the pitch. What seòrsa ball a th' ann? Cò ris a tha e coltach? sort of ball is it? What's it like? IAIN TORMOD: JOHN NORMAN: Uill, 's e ball gu math cruaidh a th' ann. Cha chreid leamsa an-diugh gu bheil e cho Well, it's a very hard ball. I don't believe they're as hard as they used cruaidh 's a bha e. Nuair a thòisich mise a' cluich, 's e ball dubh a bh' ann, leathair to be. When I first started, it was a black ball, black leather, and the dubh, 's nuair a thigeadh e a-mach 's a' chiad turas, bha e coltach ri cnap guail. first time you played with it, it was like a lump of coal. But since then, Ach bhon uairsin, tha na buill ... Saoilidh mise nach eil iad cho cruaidh 's a bha iad. the balls are ... I don't think they're as hard as they used to be.

  • Skye and the Land Agitation John Norman Macleod
    "Chaidh a' Chuibhle mun Cuairt'" - Skye and the Land Agitation John Norman MacLeod THE Highland Land agitation of the 1880s is a theme which has been widely researched and extensively written about, with a particular focus on the years between 1881 and 1886. Skye very much featured in the upheavals of this period and I will look again at the main events, appraise their significance and consider why Skye crofters were to the forefront of agitation at this time? For this talk on the land agitation in Skye, I will confine myself to the same period 1881-86, while recognising that the land agitation, here as elsewhere, extended well beyond this date and even continued after the First World War. Before looking at events at Braes, Glendale and Kilmuir, it is worth considering some wider aspects of Highland and Islands land agitation. What was the nature and extent of the crofters' resistance? What factors helped to activate and sustain the land agitation of this period? And, indeed, why was there not more of it until the 1880s? Though the tenantry endured great hardships as a result of the Clearances there is a general viewpoint among historians that tacksmen, crofters and cottars did very little to help themselves before the 1850s, both to resist the removals and extreme provocation they endured at the hands of the landlords. Despite these claims, there were reported incidents of conflict, even as early as 1792 in Coigach, with around fifty in all reported in the period to 1855. However, up until the 1850s, there was little unified resistance with no sustained attempt by the victims to mount anything approximating to a generalised assault on their oppressors.

Indeed, it is urgent for SMO to do so, amid repeated calls from Bòrd na Gàidhlig and the Scottish Government for a ‘faster rate of progress’ for Gaelic in the context of enacting the National Gaelic Language Plan 2018-23. SMO is therefore continuing to evolve its response to an increasingly challenging funding and operating environment, to contribute through its leadership to Gaelic-medium education, Gaelic research and Gaelic social and economic development. 2018-19 has been a year of change, with the retirement of the Principal, Prof. Boyd Robertson, and Vice Principal, John Norman Macleod at end of the previous academic year.
