Andrew McKenzie’s newest work is striking a chord in the public discord. BBC Alba recently highlighted the new book in a segment as can be seen in the clip below.
The topic of who the Brahan Seer was and if he was a real person at all often stirs controversy among those who love highland culture and lore. The BBC is well aware. Andrew sensed from the interview that the aim of the sit down was to have a disagreement between himself and fellow highland historian Aonghas MacCoinnich.
What Aonghas and Andrew actually said in the interview “simply ended up complementing one another”. Aonghas MacCoinnich is happy to gather the documents and facts, and Andrew McKenzie is happy to take these ancient sources and artifacts and “connect the dots” and makes sense of the past and its connection to the present. “A Quest for the Brahan Seer” does just this.
