Seaforth Doom
A myth, presented in the encyclopedia as a fact. There are no sources on this that pass this off as true, aside from a couple free web pages. Looking at the talk page, someone posted this from a more reputable source, : "There is a long tradition of claims to be able to foretell the future and having the ability to have Second Sight. The most famous of these, was Coinneach Odhar, better known as the Brahan Seer, some of whose visions for the future are said to have come to pass. He foretold the site of the Battle of Culloden, the construction of the Caledonian Canal and the doom of the Mackenzies of Seaforth while the "black rain" on Aberdeen is said by some to be the coming of the oil industry. But his fame rests on a best-selling book by Alexander Mackenzie published in 1877 and there is little historical evidence for the seer or his prophecies!" (Emphasis added) It's a myth, and not enough of a well-known myth to merit inclusion. Raggaga 22:13, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
