Thread Name: Songs about the Brahan Seer of Scotland?
Subject: RE: Any Songs about the Brahan Seer of Scotland?
Ciaran,

Nevermind. As soon as I left here, I found the "Gabs" site on the net and samples some of their stuff. Good! They didn't have a clip of the Brahan Seer, though. They had some great links, too, though.

Since I lasted posted to this, I've done some more searching on the web. Amazon.com has a recent book called "Prophecies of the Brahan Seer" by Elizabeth Sutherland. It appears she's written several informatinal books about Scotland. I am unsure of the accuracy, even though she's a Sutherland, because in the review at Amazon, it said more Scottish consider the Seer to be the prophet Iasiah! THAT'S the first I've ever read of that! It does say it's a revised edition, so maybe she is a daughter or somethig of the Countess who put a forward in my book, or herself?

There are a couple more on the Seer by her, too, but they are out of print and would have to be searched for.

If we can determine that I'd not be infringing on copyrights, my offer still stands. I guess I'll email Amazon and try to get more info on her book.

There were a couple of websites which came up when I typed in Brahan Seer: www.coolpage.com/aries/articles/seer2.htm

and, one I couldn't get to open: www.nessie.co.uk/menu/highmenu.html

Later...
