BRAHAN SEER

16th C Highland prophet Coinneach Odhar (Kenneth MacKenzie) also known as the Brahan Seer. He was said to have one eye that was milky...probably a cataract... he would hold up his hollow stone to this eye to scry....to see into the future.

In the background in the above paintng is a natural arch at Clachtoll in Assynt. He predicted, "The natural arch, or 'Clach tholl,' near Storehead in Assynt, will fall with a crash so loud as to cause the laird of Leadmore's cattle, twenty miles away, to break their tethers." This was fulfilled in 1841, Ledmore's cattle having one day strayed from home to within a few hundred yards of the arch, when it fell with such a crash as to send them home in a frantic fright, tearing everything before them.
