The Brahan Seer and Scottish Events: Kenneth Mackenzie, known as the Brahan Seer, allegedly predicted 17th-century events in Scotland, including the Jacobite uprisings and the Highland Clearances. One famous prophecy spoke of “black houses” turning to “white houses,” interpreted as traditional homes replaced by sheep farms. Another foretold a “woman with the gold tooth” who would bring change—possibly Lady Margaret Mackenzie. Though first recorded in the 19th century, long after his death, the prophecies gained credibility through oral tradition. Their accuracy is debated, but they remain part of Scottish folklore, illustrating how local seers become legendary through retrospective validation.
