The Sign

This was taken at an open air play at Edinburgh Fringe about a Minister in Aberfoyle, Rev Robert Kirk, who reputedly studied fairies. It was strange that when the Minister’s superior in the play, started to preach to the heavens - suddenly a rainbow appeared and shone between sun and rain clouds.
Undernoted is a brief summary of the minister.........
Robert Kirk’s research into fairy folklore is still important today. Was this 17th century Scottish minister punished for prying a little too closely into the world of fairies and elves?

“These Siths or Fairies they call Sleagh Maith or the Good People…are said to be of middle nature between Man and Angel…of intelligent fluidous Spirits, and light changeable bodies…somewhat of the nature of a condensed cloud, and best seen in twilight. These bodies be so pliable through the sublety of Spirits that agitate them, that they can make them appear or disappear at pleasure.”
