Bha Eilidh daonnan a' gabhail iongnadh dè seòrsa beatha a bh' aig a seanair is a seanmhair anns a' Bhaile Dearg, a chaidh a bhàthadh le sgeama Hydro bho chionn bhliadhnaichean. Tha rudeigin annasach ag èirigh dhi ri taobh an locha agus anns a' mhionaid tha i air ais anns a' bhaile mar a bha e, air chall san àm a dh'fhalbh gun dòigh a bhith tilleadh. Ciamar a tha i a' dol a lorg slighe air ais dhan latha an-diugh?

Bu toil leam an seo taing mhòr a thoirt seachad dha Alison Lang airson na thug i dhomh de chuideachadh. Feumaidh mi cuideachd taing a thoirt seachad dha mo theaghlach airson am foighidinn nuair a bha mi an sàs ann an sgrìobhadh. Cha bhiodh an leabhar ann às aonais na taice a fhuair mi bho Sandstone Press agus Comhairle nan Leabhraichean. Mu dheireadh, a’ cuimhneachadh, an-còmhnaidh, air m’ athair, Tormod ’Dol, nach maireann, oir tha an leabhar seo sgrìobhte sa chànan aige fhèin.

Eilidh is out walking with her boyfriend Dòmhnall near the loch where she and her grandmother once had a strange encounter with a man who seemed to appear from nowhere. She has always known about Baile Dearg, the village flooded by the Hydro Board when they built the dam years ago, but today the water level is so low that the roofs of the drowned houses are actually visible. After an argument with Dòmhnall she sets off on her own in the direction of the village, and notices that part of the old bridge is showing above the water.
