Myths and legends from down the years. See the predictions of Scotland's Nostridamus and other predictions that have come true. Edinburgh Ghosts and more. Place to Visit Myths Thomas the Rhymer Thomas was a poet and someone that could predict the future. His home was in Earlston in the Scottish Borders. The legend tells that Thomas fell asleep beneath a tree at the foot of the Eildon Hills. When he woke he saw the vision of a shining Lady on a Grey horse, this was the Queen of the Fairies and she entranced him and took him away to Fairyland. He remained there for what he thought had been three days, but was actually 7 years. When he left, the Queen gave him the gift of speaking the truth and told him many prophecies of great events in Scottish history. One of the events he prophesied that there would be a bridge over the River Tweed which would be visible from the Eildon Tree. The Fairy Queen also told Thomas that she would return one day, so if you feel weary rest under the tree and you never can tell what will happen next. Thomas was a real person and lived in the 1200s and his rhymes have been popular for hundreds of years. His rhymers are the earliest examples of Scottish Poetry. Look in the Poetry Library of the Royal Mile for some examples. Stand by the stone and look for the Bridge or take a nap and see what happens . James Gregory's Meridian Line St Andrews James Gregory’s Meridian is now marked on South Street by a brass marker across the pavement outside the University of St Andrews’ King James Library together with a plaque on the wall. In 1673, almost 200 years prior to the international adoption of GMT, a Scottish astronomer named James Gregory laid down Europe’s first meridian on the floor of his laboratory at the University of St Andrews. He used this line in conjunction with a metal sight fixed outside one of the windows, which he lined up with a post on the horizon exactly due south, to make astronomical observations. Gregory's Scottish meridian runs almost twelve minutes behind Greenwich meridian time, as it is several degrees to the west which, explained Dr John Amson of St Andrews University, means the world could have been running on a different time scale: 'The world could today be running on STAMT (St Andrews Mean Time) and not GMT.

A fascinating column at the pinnacle a hand holding a large dagger and around it seven stone carved heads. The story goes that on 25th September, 1663 the Chieftain of Clan MacDonald of Keppoch, Alexander MacDonald, and his brother Ranald, were murdered by rivals within their clan. Two years passed with no just handed out for their killers. At that time the Privy Council in Edinburgh, issued letters of “Fire and Sword” against the murderers. Ian Lom and the MacDonald’s of Sleat sought “ample and summary vengeance”. They caught the seven murderers and decapitated them. Ian Lom on his journey, taking the seven heads to Invergarry Castle, he stopped to wash the blood from the heads to make them more presentable to the clan chief of the MacDonald’s of Glengarry. The Heads were then taken to Edinburgh, where they were displayed on Pikes at the Gallows between Edinburgh and Leith. The story has been ratified, when the seven graves with headless bodies were exhumed. In 1812 the monument was erected by the clan chief of the MacDonnell (Clan MacDonnell of Glengarry is a Scottish clan and is a branch of the Clan Donald) to remember the crime and punishment handed out.

The Brahan Seer Scottish Nostradamus The Brahan Seer was the Nostradamus of Scotland. He was gifted with the ability of seeing events in the fut ure. His prophecies are still quoted to this day. To have “Second Sight”, or two sights, is an ability to see both into two worlds at the same time. Always thought by the folks of Scotland as an affliction or curse. The Brahan Seer, Coinneach (a variant transcription of the name Kenneth) Mackenzie, was born at Baile-na-Cille on the Isle of Lewis, circa 1600 and lived at the shores of Loch Ussie near to Dingwall in the Scottish Highlands. Legend has it that it was his mother that passed the sight to his son (Coinneach) Kenneth. At a graveyard one night when ghosts were known to roam the earth, his mother encountered the ghost of a Danish Princess on her way back to her grave. In order to allow her to pass back into the grave, Kenneth’s mother demanded that the Princess should pay a tribute, and asked that her son should be given the second sight. The legend goes that later that day, Kenneth found a small stone with a hole in the middle, through which he would look and see visions. The prophetic visions that have come true in the years after his death The Battle of Culloden (1746) He spoke on the moors, and his words were recorded. “Oh! Drum Ossie, thy bleak moor shall, ere many generations have passed away, be stained with the best blood of the Highlands. Glad am I that I will not see the day, for it will be a fearful period; heads will be lopped off by the score, and no mercy shall be shown or quarter given on either side.” He predicted, The lochs in the Great Glen would become one . This became fact when the Caledonian Canal was constructed in 1822. He talked of great black bridle less horses belching fire and steam. This became fact in the 1860’s when railways with steam trains were built throughout the Highlands. The North Sea oil fields were foretold: When Kenneth said “A black rain will bring riches to Aberdeen.” He also spoke of; When Scotland would once again have its own Parliament. But it would only come to pass when men could walk dry shod (without wetting ones boots) from England to France . First men to travel from England and France under the sea. On 1 December 1990, Englishman Graham Fagg and Frenchman Phillippe Cozette The Scottish Parliament reconvened on 12 May 1999 after it was dissolved on the 28th April 1707. He spoke of how fire and water would run beneath the streets of Inverness and into every dwelling. Gas and water pipes were laid down in Inverness circa 1825. Kenneth made a prediction that was to cost him his life. The Earl of Seaforth’s wife Isabella, was said to be one of the ugliest women in Scotland asked Kenneth for news of her husband, who was visiting Paris. Kenneth confirmed that the Earl was in good health but refused to elaborate further. This enraged Isabella, who demanded that he tell her everything or she would have him killed. Kenneth told her that her husband was with another woman, fairer than herself, and he foretold the end of the Seaforth family line. Isabella was so incensed by this that she had (Coinneach) Kenneth seized and thrown head-first into a barrel of boiling tar. The Brahan Seer Stone Slab There is a stone slab near the light house at Chanonry Point on the Moray Firth, near Fortrose, that is said to mark the spot where he died. The inscription reads: “This stone commemorates the legend of Coinneach Odhar better known as the BRAHAN SEER – Many of his prophesies were fulfilled and tradition holds that his untimely death by burning in tar followed his final prophecy of the doom of the House of Seaforth.” The Brahan Seer Celtic Stone A Celtic stone stands at the bridge across the Black Water River at the Rogie Falls, Strathpeffer Ross-shire The Seer said that if the stone fell down three times, then Loch Ussie would flood the valley below so that ships could sail to Strathpeffer. The stone has fallen down twice: it is now set in concrete. Fonab Castle Pitlochry Scotland Once home to the Sandeman Family the leading Port and Sherry wine businesses in the world. In 1790 when George Sandeman (1765-1841), the 25-year-old son of a Scottish cabinetmaker asked his father for money to set up as a wine merchant in London. Fonab Castle beside Loch Faskally and Ben Vrackie, on the once Port-na-Craig Estate which was purchased by George Glas Sandeman in 1890 who built a magnificent Home. History of the name Fonab can be seen as early as the 12th century. Fonab Castle was completed in 1892. The house transferred through the family and in 1915 till the war end in 1918 the house was a British Red Cross hospital. From 1928-46 Colonel and Mrs Kinglake Tower were occupants until they sold Fonab Castle to North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board who renamed it 'Port-na-Craig House'. The House was left by the SHEB abandoned until in 2002, when the Clark family purchased the property and changed the name back to its origin name of Fonab Castle.

It was fortified and extended in 1513 after the Battle of Flodden. A further extension to the Edinburgh city wall was built to include Heriot’s Hospital (school) circa 1630. There was also a wall that extended to the Palace of Holyrood to surround the Canongate area, but this was not considered as a protection as was out with the city wall.

Edinburgh City Wall - Flodden Wall Walter Scott's Poem (Marmion) The Battle of Flodden 1513 From Flodden ridge, The Scots beheld the English host Leave Barmoor Wood, their evening post And headful watched them as they crossed The Till by Twizell Bridge. High sight it is, and haughty, while They dive into the deep defile; Beneath the cavern’d cliff they fall, Beneath the castle’s airy wall. By rock, by oak, by Hawthorn tree, Troop after troop are disappearing; Troop after troop their banners rearing Upon the eastern bank you see. Still pouring down the rocky glen, Where flows the sullen Till, And rising from the dim-wood glen, Standards on standards, men on men, In slow procession still, And sweeping o’er the Gothic arch, And pressing on in ceaseless march, To gain the opposing hill.

Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders where Mary Queen of Scots Lived and the birth place of Sir David Brewster principal of both Edinburgh and St Andrews Universitys, See Jedburgh Castle and Jedburgh Abbey founded in 1138. Jedburgh Attractions Scotland Jedburgh Scottish Borders Attractions Jedburgh is one of the four Abbey towns of the Scottish Borders. Jedburgh has been occupied by the English and French and has benn attacked many times through the centuries due to its position near to England. It is where Mary Queen of Scots lived for some time in a tower house which is now a museum dedicated to her life and death. Jedburgh Mercat Cross The original ancient Jedburgh mercat cross was replaced by the present cross. The remains of the original cross is a part of the stone unicorn which can be seen in Mary Queen of Scots House museum. Mary Queen of Scots House and Museum Mary Queen of Scots lived here for a period when recuperating from an illness in 1566. The tower house has been preserved as it was in the 16th century. The house holds many important documents and belongings of Mary . This House is full of the life of Mary and her demise. A museum to the life of a great Queen and a tragic end at the hands of a family member. Mary's Last Letter Mary Queen of Scots last letter Mary’s last letter is one of the most poignant ever written. It explains to the King of France, brother of her beloved first husband, that her Catholicism would not allow her to accept the stay of execution offered by Elizabeth if she agreed to renounce her faith. Mary's Last Letter Mary Queen of Scots last letter Mary’s last letter is one of the most poignant ever written. It explains to the King of France, brother of her beloved first husband, that her Catholicism would not allow her to accept the stay of execution offered by Elizabeth if she agreed to renounce her faith. Translation of Mary’s last letter from French Queen of Scotland 8 Feb 1587 Royal brother, having by God’s will, for my sins I think, thrown myself into the power of the Queen my cousin, at whose hands I have suffered much for almost twenty years. I have finally been condemned to death by her and her Estates, I have asked for papers, which they have taken away, in order that I might make my will, bit I have been unable to recover anything of use to me, or even get leave either to make my will freely or to have my body conveyed after my death, as I would wish, to your kingdom where I had the honour to be queen, your sister and former ally. Tonight, after dining, I was advised of my sentence: I am to be executed like a criminal at eight in the morning. I have not had time to give you a full account of everything that has happened, but if you will listen to my doctor and my other unfortunate servants, you will learn the truth, and how, thanks to God, I scorn death and vow that I meet it innocent of any crime, even if I were their subject. The Catholic faith and the assertion of my God given right to the English crown are the two issues on which I am condemned and yet I am not allowed to say that it is for my Catholic religion that I die, but for fear of interference with theirs. The proof of this is that they have taken away my chaplain and, although he is in the castle, I have not been able to get permission for him to come and hear my confession and give me the Last Sacrament, while they have been most insistent that I receive the consolation and instruction of their minister, brought here for that purpose. The bearer of this letter and his companions, most of them your subjects, will testify to my conduct at my hour. It remains for me to beg Your Most Christian Majesty, my brother-in-law and former ally, who has always protested your love for me, to give proof now of your goodness on all these points: firstly by charity, in paying my unfortunate servants the wages due them – this is a burden on my conscience that only you can relieve: further, by having prayer offered to God for a queen that has borne the title Most Christian, and who dies a Catholic, stripped of all her possessions. As for my son, I commend him to you in so far as he deserves, for I cannot answer for him. I have taken the liberty of sending you two precious stones, talismans against illness, trusting that you will enjoy good health and a long and happy life. Accept them from your loving sister-in-law, who, as she dies, bears witness of her warm feeling for you. Again I commend my servants to you. Give instructions, if it please you, that for my soul’s sake part of what you owe me shall be paid, and that for the sake of Jesus Christ, to whom I shall pray for you tomorrow as I die. I be left enough to found a memorial mass and give the customary alms. You’re most loving and most true sister, Mary R To the Most Christian King and brother and former ally. Jedburgh Abbey Jedburgh Abbey was founded in 1138 by David I as an Augustinian priory. A church or monastery has been on this site from the 9th century. This Abbey was the place of the coronation of Malcolm IV, King of Scotland from 1153 until his death in 1165. The other historic time was the marriage of Alexander III, King of Scots from 1249 until his death 1286, when he fell from his horse. Sir David Brewster One of Jedburgh's sons, David Brewster was to become one of the most important inventors of all time and the rector of the University of Edinburgh. DAVID BREWSTER K.R. Born Jedburgh in 1781 and died in Edinburgh in 1868. David Brewster was one of the most important inventors of our time inventing the kaleidoscope, lenticular stereoscope, binocular camera, polyzonal lens, lighthouse illuminator, polarimeter. He also was instrumental in the development of fibre optics and lasers. Jedburgh Museum Castle and Jail The first castle on this site was built circa 1140 by King David I. When David I died, his 12-year-old grandson Malcolm became, King Malcolm IV. Malcolm IV died at Jedburgh castle in 1165 at the age of 23. Jedburgh Castle was demolished in 1409 by the scots to stop the English from using the Castle as a Fortress against the Scots. It was 1823 before the present structure was built. The prison was built in the form of a castle but was a debtor’s prison for men, women and children and closed in 1868. The prison is now used as a living museum. Haunted by ghost of executed prisoners many strange things have been heard and experienced. Jedburgh Rock of Ages This Rock that stands in the gardens of Mary, Queen of Scots, House Museum in Jedburgh is thought to be over 1400 years old and carvings from circa 8th century are visible. The rock was the base of an ancient cross that stood in Bongate Jedburgh. It may have also be used for other purposes. Tours and Transfers Hawick Attractions
