Pròiseact clas – Eilean a’ Phrionnsa
’S e eilean beag brèagha far chost an ear Chanada a th’ ann an Eilean a’ Phrionnsa.
Tha an t-eilean faisg air Ceap Breatann. Eadar an t-ochdamh linn deug agus an naoidheamh linn deug, chaidh na mìltean de Ghàidheil a dh’fhuireach Dhàn eilean.
Thàinig iad à Uibhist, à Mùideart, às an Eilean Sgitheanach agus àiteachan eile.
Aig an àm sin, às dèidh Blàr Chùil Lodair, cha robh beatha Dhà na Gàidheil cho math ann an Alba agus dh’fhalbh tòrr dhiubh a-null thairis a’ sireadh beatha nas fheàrr.
An-diugh, coltach ri muinntir Cheap Breatainn, bidh muinntir Eilean a’ Phrionnsa gam faicinn fhèin mar Chanèidianaich ach cuideachd mar Albannaich.
Tha cultar na Gàidhlig fhathast beò anns an eilean. An-diugh, ’s e an t-ainm MacDhòmhnaill fhathast air fear de na h-ainmean as cumanta ann an Eilean a’ Phrionnsa!
- Tha sibh a’ dol a dhèanamh pròiseact mu Eilean a’ Phrionnsa.
- Bidh sibh ag obair ann am buidhnean agus mar chlas.
- Ann am buidhnean, bidh sibh a’ rannsachadh agus a’ cruinneachadh fiosrachadh mun
eilean agus ga chur còmhla mar chlas. - Bidh gach buidheann a’ taghadh cuspair no dhà às an liosta gu h-ìosal (no cuspair eile)
airson an rannsachaidh aca. - Feumaidh gach buidheann a bhith ag obair air cuspair(ean) eadar-dhealaichte.
- Feumaidh gach buidheann am fiosrachadh aca a thaisbeanadh gu snog air pàipear no air
coimpiutair ann an Gàidhlig.

There are lots of well know Gaelic songs relating to emmigration to Canada and other counTrìes during the last few centuries.
‘O mo Dhùthaich’ is one such song and another is listed below. Can you find some more?
‘S Fhada Leam an Oidhche Gheamhraidh
‘S fhada leam an oidhche gheamhraidh,
‘S fhada ‘s fhada ‘s fhada leam i,
‘S O, chan fhaic ach prèiridh lom mi;
Cha chluinn tonn ri tighinn gu tràigh mi.
Sèist
Fàili, fàili, fàili hò ro
Fàili, fàili, fàili hò ro
Fàili, fàili, fàili hò ro
‘S cian nan cian on dh’fhàg mi LeòDhàs.
‘N àm don fheasgar bhith ri ciaradh
‘S Trìc a bhios mo chridhe cianail
Cuimhneachadh g’ eil cian nan cian uam
Far ‘m bu mhiann leamh dhol a chèilidh.
Chan ann a lùchairt mhòir nan cùirtear
Ach don bhothan thughaidh shùgrach,
Teine mònach air an ùrlar
‘S luchd mo rùin-sa cruinn a’ cèilidh.
Bhiodh na bodaich rianail, dòigheil,
Nam biodh bunag chrèathadh ‘s ceò ac’,
Bhiodh na brogaich snìomh nan snòta
Air glùin rùisgte, siud an dòigh orr’.
Bhiodh seann shaighdear nan ciad cruaidh-chath
‘S leis a’ chlobha anns an luath aig’
Dealbh dhuinn mar a thug a’ bhuaidh iad
Mic nam fuar-bheann, luchd an fhèilidh.
Bhiodh seann sheòladair ‘s air stòl e
‘S cha robh cuan no loch nach d’ sheòl e;
‘S nuair a thòisicheadh ri sgeòil e,
Gillean òga dheigheadh ga èisteachd.
Ach sgap an comann, sgaoil na fiùrain, ‘
S tha gach sgeulaiche ‘s an ùir air,
Chunnaic mise cridheil, sùrdail,
‘S O, mo dhùrachd, bhith gan èisdeachd.
Ach càite nis a-nochd an tèid mi?
Chan eil cèilidh air a’ phrèiridh,
‘S O chan fhaic mi ‘n àm dhomh èirigh
‘N àirde ‘g èirigh ceò na mònach.
