In the middle of the 17th century, the clairvoyant Brahan Sire, blind in one eye, lived in Scotland. A flat pebble with a hole in the middle served as his working "tool". Applying it to his blind eye, Brahan "saw" the events taking place at that moment at any distance from him, as well as the future. His prophecies came true one after another, and the glory of Brahan grew.
Brahan Sire worked as a peat carver on Lord Seaforth's estate. Once the lord went on business to Paris and did not return for a long time. Lady Seaforth summoned the seer and, in the presence of the servants, demanded an answer whether her husband was all right.
Sire raised his mysterious stone to his blind eye and laughed: “Don't worry about your spouse. He is cheerful and happy. The lady insisted that the clairvoyant tell her everything, and he reluctantly told that he saw the lord kneeling before the beautiful lady. The lady flushed and immediately ordered the execution of Brahan for slander.
And then the prophet said:
“I look into the distant future and see that the Siforts will end their days in suffering. I see the last lord, deaf and dumb. He will be the father of four glorious sons and will follow them to the grave. After mourning the last son, he himself will go to another world, and his property will be inherited by a girl in a white hat who will come from the East. This girl will kill her sister. I will name four large landowners who will live in these places in the last days of the deaf-mute Seaforth. Here they are: Geirloch, Chisholm, Grant and Raasey. One of them will have protruding teeth, the other will have a hare lip, the third will be crazy, and the fourth will be a stutterer.
The Prophet was tied up and taken to Chanonri Point. There he was dipped in boiling resin, poured into a keg with long, sharp spikes inside.

Confirmation of prediction
If there is a paradise, and Brahan Sire got there, then he could watch from there how his prophecy came true. The last Lord Seaforth was indeed deaf and dumb and died in 1815, having outlived his sons. Four landowners, his contemporaries, had the shortcomings that the prophet spoke of.
"Girl in a white hat from the East" - the eldest daughter of the lord, inherited his property, returning from India. In 1823, she inadvertently killed her younger sister, Caroline. The horses that she ruled carried. The wagon capsized and Caroline crashed.
He predicted World War II
Eighty years before the battle between the Scots and the British at the Culloden Sea, Brahan Sir passed through the future battlefield near Inverness and, noticing the old mill, said:
- The time will come when, for three days, your wheel will be turned by water colored by human blood: for there will be a battle on the banks of your river, where a lot of blood will be shed.
Lady Seaforth did not believe the words of the prophet Brahan Sirah And in 1746 more than 6,000 rebellious highlanders of Scotland were killed on this site by English soldiers in just one hour of battle.
Some of Brahan Sira's predictions were so startling that they were ridiculed by those around him. A businessman from Inverness, wanting to know the future, invited Cyrus and then kicked him out when he stated:
- The time will soon come when ships will plow the expanses to the west and east of Tomnakhurikha Hill.
150 years later, in 1822, the Caledonian Canal was built, and the words of the prophet came true. The ships began to sail around the ridge of the Tomnakhurikha hill.
Brahan Sire foresaw railways and other wonders of the industrial revolution. He said:
- Trains of horseless carts will ride between Dingwall and Inverness. Fire and water will flow in streams through all the streets and alleys of Inverness.
Apparently, it was about gas and water supply.
The people of Inverness were convinced that Brahan Sire had predicted World War II as well. He said that a terrible disaster would hit the world when the Nessus River could be crossed in five places without getting your feet wet. At the end of August 1939, a new one with five spans was built instead of the old one, which had fallen into disrepair, and on September 1, German troops attacked Poland.
Many events in the distant future, predicted by Brahan, did take place. Some of his predictions are probably still destined to come true. And at the site of Brahan Sira's execution in Chanonri Point, in 1969, grateful descendants erected a memorial stone in his honor.
