Short Stories, Big Dreams The Mad hatter’s Unexpected Guests t was a strangely quiet and uneventful afternoon in Wonderland. Alice was having tea with the Mad Hatter, Ithe March Hare and the Dormouse. They had finished the scones and sponge cake, as well as the bread with the finest butter. The Mad Hatter and the March Hare were pouring tea over each other’s heads in a friendly way, while the plump little Dormouse had a nap. That was when the White Rabbit ran up in a panic, waving his watch. “What are you doing? The Dormouse’s relations are visiting at thirteen o’clock, and you’ve eaten all the food!” “Oh no!” said Alice, “Can we bake them a cake?” “How do you bake a cake?” asked the March Hare. “Well, you need some flour…” “Some flowers?” squealed the violets a HUGE bowl, filled it with flour and and tiger-lilies in the garden. ”You can’t eggs, and were beating them into a bake us into a cake!” batter.

The Queen began yelling out orders, and soon her card-soldiers had found Storyteller’s Corner The Language of Animals ong ago, in the land of Italy, there lived a wealthy Lman who had only one son. He wanted his son to be well-educated, so he sent him off to study at the very best school in the world, which was in a distant country. The boy was clever, and learned many things there. When ten years had passed, the teachers said that they had no more to teach him, and he went home. The boy’s father held a big banquet to celebrate his son’s return, and invited many important lords and merchants. After dinner was finished, the boy’s father boasted about how well-educated his son was, because he wanted to show off to the important people at the party. 8 “So, my son, what have you learned dare you humiliate me with your at the finest school in the world?” lies in front of everybody!” he said. he boomed. “If you are so smart, why don’t you leave my house and make your “I have learned many things!” way in the world on your own?” replied his son. “I have learned to understand the language of dogs, frogs and even birds!” The son left his father’s house with Nobody at the party believed him only the clothes on his back, and when he said this, and they began set out on the road to the nearest to laugh at him. city.

KING AND COMPANY, PRINTERS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN. <> DEDICATION TO FIRST EDITION. TO MY REVERED FRIEND, THE REV. ALEXANDER MACGREGOR, M.A., Of the West Church, Inverness, as a humble tribute of my admiration of his many virtues, his genial nature, and his manly Celtic spirit. He has kept alive the smouldering embers of our Celtic Literature for half a century by his contributions, under the signature of " Sgiathanach," " Alas- tair Ruadh," and others, to the Teachdaire Gatdhealach, Cuairtear nan Gleann, Fear Tathaich tian Beann, An Gaidheal, The Highlander ; and, latterly, his varied and interesting articles in the Celtic Magazine have done much to secure to that Periodical its present, and rapidly increasing, popularity. He has now the pleasing satisfaction, in his ripe and mellow old age, of seeing the embers, which he so long and so carefully fostered, shining forth in the full blaze of a general admiration of the long despised and ignored Literature of his countrymen ; and to him no small share of the honour is due. That he may yet live many years in the enjoyment of health and honour, is the sincere desire of many a High- lander, and of none more so, than of his sincere friend, ALEXANDER MACKENZIE.

  • Gaelic Names of Pibrochs a Concise Dictionary Edited by Roderick D
    February 2013 Gaelic names of Pibrochs A Concise Dictionary edited by Roderick D. Cannon Introduction Sources Text Bibliography February 2013 Introduction This is an alphabetical listing of the Gaelic names of pibrochs, taken from original sources. The great majority of sources are manuscript and printed collections of the tunes, in music notation appropriate for the bagpipe, that is, in staff notation or in canntaireachd. In addition, there are a few arranged for piano or fiddle, but only when the tunes correspond to known bagpipe versions. The main purpose of the work is to make available authentic versions of all authentic names, to explain apparent inconsistences and difficulties in translation, and to account for the forms of the names as we find them. The emphasis here is on the names, not the tunes as such. Many tunes have a variety of different names, but here the variants are only listed in the same entry when they are evidently related. Names which are semantically unrelated are placed in separate entries, even when linked by tradition such as Craig Ealachaidh and Cruinnneachdh nan Grandach. But in such cases they are linked by cross-references, and the traditions which explain the connection are mentioned in the discussions. Different names which merely sound similar are also cross-referenced, whether or not they apply to the same tune. Different names for the same tune, with no apparent connection, are not cross-referenced. Different tunes with the same name are given separate entries, though of course these appear consecutively in the list. In each entry the first name, in bold type, is presented in modern Gaelic spelling except that the acute accent is retained, e.g.

  • Bloody Bay and the Macleods
    BLOODY BAY AND THE MACLEODS The battle of Bloody Bay was fought on some date between 1481 and 1485,1 say c.1483, and saw the death of William MacLeod of Harris2 (who had been chief of the Siol Tormoid since the death of his father, Ian Borb, 1463x1469, say c.1466),3 who was succeeded by his son, Alasdair Crotach (who did not die until 1546/7).4 With regard to the identity and genealogy of the combatants at Bloody Bay there is no problem with the Harris MacLeods but there is one with the Lewis MacLeods, which is the concern of the second part of this paper. Citing “Seanachie’s Account of the Clan Maclean (1838), p.24,” which states that the battle “was fought off Barrayraig near Tobermory in Mull, at a place ever since known by the name of Ba ’na falla, or the Bloody Bay”, R. W. Munro wrote “The name Bloody Bay, even in Gaelic, sounds somewhat artificial, and I wonder if anyone has heard it or any other name used by native Gaelic speakers in Mull or elsewhere for the sea-fight”.5 The requested “any other name” for the battle is found in MacLeod tradition. The chapter on the MacLeods of that ilk (i.e. of Harris) in Douglas’s Baronage ends its account of “XI. WILLIAM” with:6 “ This William, by order of king James III. went to the aſſiſtance of John earl of Roſs against his natural ſon, and loſt his life in a naval engagement in Cammiſteraig, or Bloody Bay, in the Sound of Mull, and was ſucceeded by his only ſon, XII.
