Knowing the future in the 1800s

Page from the English translation of a newspaper article in Gaelic (The Scotsman, 10th November 1984) by Neil Brownlie about the 19th century prophet John MacLean of Hough and Ruaig. John foresaw the first and second world wars, the arrival of the RAF on Tiree, the division of farms into crofts and the disappearance of townships behind Ben Hough.
