With the release of his new book, Scotland's Nostradamus: A Quest for the Brahan Seer, Andrew McKenzie joins the podcast to talk about his inspiration for the book, realities of folklore and who really was the Seer.

After studying History at Cambridge University, during which time he first addressed the Brahan Seer in his degree dissertation about the last Lord Seaforth, Andrew McKenzie has maintained a lifelong interest in his Highland family history, including in 2013 writing May we be Britons? A History of the Mackenzies. After Cambridge, McKenzie worked at Bonhams, the London auction house, where he became Head of Old Master Paintings, continuing to indulge his passion for sixteenth-, seventeenth- and eighteenth-century European history and culture and remains there as a senior consultant. He also is a contributor to

clanmackenzie.org and co-founder of the Clan Mackenzie Initiative.
