Excerpt from Highland Second-Sight: With Prophecies of Coinneach Odhar and the Seer of Petty and Numerous Other Examples From the Writings of Aubrey, Martin, Theophilus Insulanus, the Rev. John Fraser, Dean of Argyle and the Isles, Rev. Dr. Kennedy of Dingwall, and Others The second-sight (da-radharc, Da - shealladh, Taibhsearachd - the three Gaelic words have been used in this connection) is popularly believed to be a faculty of prophetic vision long supposed in the Scottish Highlands and elsewhere to belong to particular persons. As known in the Highlands of Scotland it has one feature in common with the oracular responses of Old, that of being uttered by the subject of it when in a state of mental exaltation or even delirium. The second-sight is in every case regarded as troublesome to the possessor of it. It differs, however, from the class of divine prophecies or of heathen oracles, according to Bacon, and belongs rather to prophecies that have been, to use his words, of certain memory and from hidden causes. This definition excludes it from the prophecies of St Columba, for example, and of other saints ancient and modern.
