Many families in Scotland (& Ireland) had at least one member who "had the powers" -There was a Scottish word for it " Fey" or Fay" - perhaps wrong spelling I remember my mother refering to someone as " she's fey" - seemed it was always women never men In my family my mother read "the cards" -the next door neighbour read "the leaves" (tea leaves) and the woman down the road read the crystal ball (a proper one) And between those 3 women they knew everything that was happening in the district !! as a kids we couldnt get away with doing anything - They could see it !!!!! As for my family history I am looking for the following names in Edinburgh - Peebles, Robertson, Euman, Sinclair, Whyte Purvis/es McDiarmid, Malcolm, Marshall, McKenzie, Clark, Seaton, Nimmo, Banks, McLean, I would love to hear from anyone with any of these names.
