When Chris Ann of No 2 Glasphein was a wee girl, her granny would be telling her stories from the Bible. One day it was the story of Lot’s wife, and how she was turned into a pillar of salt. Chris Ann’s uncle Murdo was in the room at the time, and he was heard to say, ‘bha nighean aice, is e Saxa an t-ainm a bh’oirre’ (she had a daughter, and her name was Saxa).
