Through the centuries this stone has gathered a host of legends. It was said to have been put up by the Munros after a battle with the Mackenzies and is inscribed with their crest, the Eagle, in memory of the slain. It is now thought to be of far greater antiquity, inscribed with Pictish symbols similar to the stone that stands in the St Clement's churchyard in Dingwall.

The Seer said that if the stone fell down three times Loch Ussie would flood the valley below so that ships could sail to Strathpeffer. It has already fallen twice, and is now concreted to ensure stability.

The Brahan estate, where the Seer worked as a labourer for the Third Earl of Seaforth is central to his final and most famous prophecies about the extinction of the Seaforth line.

The gardens at Brahan are open to the public in June when the rhododendrons and azaleas are at their best. Brahan Castle itself was demolished in 1951 but the foundations can be clearly seen in front of the present Brahan House. The Seer predicted that "No future chief of the Mackenzies shall bear rule at Brahan or Kintail." The 14 000 acre estate of Kintail is now owned by the National Trust for Scotland.

Kilcoy Castle belonged to the Mackenzies for nearly 300 years until 1813. The Seer predicted that "The stern castle of Kilcoy shall stand cold and empty"; which it did for more than 100 years until its restoration. The gardens are open to the public in summer.

Fairburn Tower stands high on a ridge between the Orrin and Conon river valleys and dates from the 16th century. The Seer prophesied remarkable things about the Mackenzies of Fairburn and the Tower. "The day will come when the Mackenzies of Fairburn shall lose their entire possessions; their castle will become uninhabited and a cow shall give birth to a calf in the uppermost chamber of the tower."

The castle eventually became a ruin and in 1851, when a cow calved in the garret, it was being used by a farmer to store hay. The prophecy was so well known that people came via railway to Strathpeffer or Muir-of-Ord and then by coach to see the cow. She had gone up the tower following a trail of hay, had a good feed at the top and became stuck. She gave birth to a fine calf and both were taken down some five days later, allowing enough time for the incredulous to come and see the prophecy fulfilled for themselves.

Such an odd thing for the Brahan Seer to have predicted, sceptics say that he could have second guessed the Caledonian Canal but surely not this.

One mile west of Brahan House by the Dingwall - Ullapool road (A835) is the monument to Lady Caroline Mackenzie. It represents the final prediction relating to the fall of the Seaforths. After foretelling the end of the male line (the last Lord Seaforth died after his four sons) the estates went to his eldest daughter. She had married Admiral Hood and spent many years stationed in the East Indies. When the Admiral died, Lady Mary Hood, (Later to become Lady Stewart-Mackenzie) returned wearing the traditional Indian white Coife of mourning. In 1823 Lady Hood was in control of a pony carriage near Brahan accompanied by her sister, Lady Caroline Mackenzie. The ponies bolted and the carriage overturned. Lady Caroline Mackenzie was thrown out and died of her injuries. In the 17th century the Brahan Seer's final comment on the house of Seaforth had been that Lord Seaforth's possessions would be "Inherited by a white-coiffed lassie from the east and she is to kill her sister."

The Latin inscription on the monument translates as follows:-

"At this point, according to the prophecy, Caroline Mackenzie, daughter of Francis, Lord Seaforth, was snatched from life: her sister who shared the same hazard was the last surviving hope of restoration of his house. 1823."
