I found this book secret commonwealth by Robert Kirk written in 1691.
You can see the book

I downloaded it a few years ago it is a good read, but a hard read too.

Why thank you.

Interesting factoid 1: Rev. Kirk (he was an Episcopalian minister) was the 7th son of a 7th son.

Interesting factoid 2: The tale of Rev. Kirk and the Unseelie Court is going into production...

"It is the 17th Century, Scotland has been set on fire by the zealous witch hunts that have torn apart towns and communities as residents attempt to purge the evil that they perceive lies within their midst.

In the small town of Aberfoyle REVEREND ROBERT KIRK has just put the finishing touches to a scholarly work on the inhabitants of the secret world of fairies and goblins. He has worked long and hard on this book, talking to outcasts and seers, risking his faith, reputation and sanity. Kirk plans to use the knowledge he has compiled to enter ‘The Secret Commonwealth’ in search of his dead wife and child whom he believes are trapped, their souls unable to enter Heaven..."

Will be directed by Michael Ferns, written by David Guest and produced by Guest and Ferns. Expect it to be shot entirely on location in the Scottish Highlands.  Could be worth a look.

I downloaded it a couple of years ago and have read it thru a few times. I had a time learning the Scottish Gaelic. I am not that good of a linguist.
