Scotland's Nostradamus

A Quest for the Brahan Seer

Beschreibung

This first fully comprehensive attempt to establish the genuine history behind the legendary Brahan Seer, which explores the uniquely rich and imaginative oral culture of the Highlands, tracing his colourful story all the way back to a long-forgotten real-life Scottish scholar living in the early 1200s.

Autor

After studying History at Cambridge University, during which time he first addressed the Brahan Seer in his degree dissertation about the last Lord Seaforth, Andrew McKenzie has maintained a lifelong interest in his Highland family history, including in 2013 writing May we be Britons? A History of the Mackenzies. After Cambridge, McKenzie has worked at Bonhams, the London auction house, where he became Head of Old Master Paintings, continuing to indulge his passion for 16th, 17th and 18th century European history and culture. After a spell working at Phillips, between 1994 and 2000, he was invited back to Bonhams to head the Old Master Paintings Department, where he remains as a senior consultant.
