What reading level is The Prophecies of the Brahan Seer Coinneach Odhar Fiosaiche book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
woe's me, The cunning dog will swallow up much land.
The history of the Kilcoy family has been an unfortunate one in late years, and the second and last lines of the first stanza clearly refer to a well-known tragic incident in the recent history of this once highly-favoured and popular Highland family.
Mr. Maclennan applies them to an earlier event, and says : — " The second and last line of the first stanza refer to the following story — Towards the latter end of the seven- teenth century a l...arge number of cattle, in the Black Isle, were attacked with a strange malady, which invariably ended in madness and in death. The disease was particu- larly destructive on the Kilcoy and Redcastle estates, and the proprietors offered a large sum of money as a reward to any who should find a remedy. An old warlock belonging to the parish agreed to protect the cattle from the ravages of this unknown disease, for the sum offered, if they pro- vided him with a human sacrifice. To this ghastly pro- posal the lairds agreed.
