Publisher's Synopsis

The Collection of Ancient Scottish Prophecies, In Alliterative Verse is a book written by David Laing in 1833. This book is a compilation of various prophecies that were popular in Scotland during the medieval period. The prophecies are written in alliterative verse, which is a type of poetry that uses repeated consonant sounds to create a rhythmic effect. The book includes prophecies about the future of Scotland, as well as predictions about the fate of various Scottish kings and queens. Some of the prophecies are believed to have been written by famous Scottish figures such as Thomas the Rhymer and John Barbour. The prophecies in this book are not meant to be taken as factual predictions, but rather as a reflection of the beliefs and fears of the people of Scotland during the medieval period. The book provides insight into the cultural and historical context of Scotland during this time, as well as the role of prophecy in Scottish folklore and mythology. Overall, the Collection of Ancient Scottish Prophecies, In Alliterative Verse is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Scottish history, folklore, and mythology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
