Learn some Scottish Gaelic through the folklore and traditions of the Highlands and Islands. I introduce the topic in Gaelic then in English I talk about it.
In this short clip, we learn the Scottish Gaelic term for **second sight** and the word for a **visionary** — someone believed to possess the gift of seeing events beyond ordinary perception.
I then look at the work of **John Gregorson Campbell (1836–1891)**, the Gaelic folklorist and minister whose writings preserved a remarkable record of Highland and Island beliefs, traditions and supernatural experiences.
His book *Witchcraft & Second Sight in the Highlands & Islands of Scotland* explores second sight, witchcraft, supernatural belief and traditional Gaelic culture.
The book is now in the public domain and can be read free online at the Internet Archive.
