Swans feeding on Loch Ussie Legend has it that the Brahan Seer lived near Loch Ussie. Before being taken to Fortrose on the Black Isle to be tried for witchcraft, (and subsequently burnt alive), he threw his oracle stone into the loch and said it would one day be found in the belly of a fish. Whoever found this seeing-stone would gain his gift of the second sight.
