SCOTLANDS NOSTRADAMUS: A QUEST FOR THE BRAHAN SEER (HB)

This comprehensive study of Coinneach Odhar Mackenzie, the celebrated Highland Seer, is the result of years of first-hand research surrounding the author’s own family’s history. McKenzie argues that this figure was based on Michael Scot, a mathematician and astrologer born in the Borders. All the major changes that the Brahan Seer was purported to have predicted (The Battle of Culloden, the Highland Clearances, mass-emigration and industrialisation) had a huge impact in society in the same way that modern conspiracy theories have had around more recent disasters.
