The Prophecies Of The Brahan Seer

The Prophecies of the Brahan Seer
by Alexander Mackenzie

Coinneach Odhar or ‘Sallow Kenneth’ is reputed to have been a native of Lewis in the seventeenth century who possessed the gift of second sight. His prophecies are well known in the Highlands today. Kenneth Mackenzie, also known as Coinneach Odhar or the Brahan Seer, was a legendary Scottish clairvoyant, often referred to as Scotland's Nostradamus. But unlike Nostradamus, many of the predictions attributed to the Brahan Seer are very straightforward and literal, instead of being cloaked in word games, riddles and allegory. The fate of this sixteenth century occult visionary is unrecorded, but others accused with him were certainly executed for witchcraft.
