Tha Creag nam Ban faisg air Both Mhoireil (Balmoral). Tha sin ann an Siorrachd Obar Dheathain (Aberdeenshire). Tha e ri taobh Uisge Dè (River Dee). Agus tha e os cionn Caisteal Obar Geallaidh no Abergeldie Castle. Tha Creag nam Ban a' ciallachadh the rocky hill of the women. Tha daoine ag ràdh gun robh bana-bhuidsichean air an losgadh gu bàs ann. Tha daoine fhathast a' cuimhneachadh ainm tè de na bhana-bhuidseachan. Ciotaidh NicFraing (Kitty Rankine).
Bha an dà-shealladh aig màthair Ciotaidh. Bha an dà-shealladh aig Ciotaidh cuideachd. Fhuair i obair anns a' chaisteal. Bha i ag obair don bhean-uasal. Bha an t-uachdaran - an daoine aig a' bhean-uasal - air falbh thall thairis.
Creag nam Ban is near Balmoral. That is in Aberdeenshire. It is on the side of the River Dee. And it is over Abergeldie Castle. Creag nam Ban means "the rocky hill of the women". People say that witches were burned to death there. People still remember the name of one of the witches. Kitty Rankine.
Kitty's mother had the second sight. Kitty had the second sight also. She found work in the castle. She was working for the lady (of the house). The laird, the lady's husband, was away overseas.
I'm doing something different this week. I'm listening to the recording sentence by sentence and writing down what I think I hear. However, I am NOT posting my mistakes.
