Gheibh sibh de sheòrsachan fhaochag againne – chan ann ann am mór phailteas mar na faochagan dubha – chanainn a chuid mhór de sheòrsachan a th’ann. Ach chan eil ainmeannan againn ach air na h-uibhir mar a dh’ainmich mi. Agus air Tràigh Mhór Uige, gheibh sibh sligean móran sheòrsachan maoraich, beag agus mór. Agus air móran dhathan.

Tha iad fearasda am briseadh is bidh na smeòraich gan togail ’s gam briseadh le’n guib is gan itheadh.
