EDITORS COMMENTS
Adam Donald: The Enigmatic Figure of Bethelnie's Necromancer and Quack Doctor (1703-1780) This evocative image captures the enigmatic figure of Adam Donald, a man who defied the conventions of 18th-century Scottish society. Born in 1703, Donald gained notoriety as both a prophet and a healer, but his practices were far from orthodox. He settled in the small village of Bethelnie, in Perthshire, where he established a reputation as a necromancer and a quack doctor. Necromancy, the practice of communing with the dead, was widely regarded as a form of witchcraft and was strictly forbidden by law. Yet, Donald's abilities seemed undeniable to many. He claimed to be able to summon the spirits of the deceased, providing comfort and guidance to those who sought solace from their loss. His services were in high demand, and he became a local celebrity, drawing visitors from far and wide. However, Donald's reputation was not limited to his supernatural abilities. He was also known for his questionable medical practices. As a quack doctor, he peddled remedies and cures that were often unproven and sometimes even dangerous. Despite this, his patients placed their trust in him, believing in his healing powers. Despite the controversy surrounding his practices, Adam Donald remained a figure of fascination and intrigue in his community. He lived a long life, passing away in 1780, leaving behind a legacy that continues to captivate historians and folklorists. This image, taken from an original print, offers a glimpse into the life of this enigmatic figure, a man who defied the norms of his time and left an indelible mark on the history of Bethelnie and beyond.
