| Summary | "Coinneach Odhar, Am Fiosaiche" by D. B. Blair is a historical account written in the late 19th century, specifically around the year 1900. This book recounts the life and prophecies of Coinneach Odhar, a renowned seer from the Highlands of Scotland, exploring his significance within Gaelic culture and the supernatural beliefs that permeated the Gaelic communities of that time. It portrays the blend of folklore, mystique, and historical context that surrounds this legendary figure. In this narrative, Coinneach Odhar is depicted as a gifted prophet who gained his abilities through a mystical stone that allowed him to foretell events, both remarkable and foreboding. The book unfolds various anecdotes from his life, illustrating how he predicted significant occurrences affecting his community and even the wider Scottish Highlands, such as disasters, migrations, and changes in leadership. The author details Coinneach's rise to fame amidst the beliefs and superstitions of common folk, as his prophecies drew attention from nobility and commoners alike. However, the tale culminates in a tragic end, where Coinneach is betrayed by the very people who once revered him, leading to his demise at the hands of the vengeful Lady of the Castle. Through Coinneach's life story, the book reflects on themes of fate, belief, and the consequences of prophetic insight. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
