In the mist-shrouded Highlands of 17th-century Scotland, a farm labourer peers through a hole in a small, white stone. Through this pebble, he claims to see the future. He sees ships sailing across dry land. He sees a day when the people of the Highlands will be outnumbered by sheep. He even foresees a black rain that will bring unimaginable wealth to the city of Aberdeen, three hundred years in the future. Was Coinneach Odhar, the Brahan Seer, truly the "Scottish Nostradamus," or was his legend a masterpiece of historical ventriloquism?
Plus, one year has passed since Barry made his own predictions for 2025, back in episode 13. We listen back to find out how accurate was our own "Scottish Nostradmaus"?
