Summary: Balquhidder has always been seen as a “Thin Place” as the Celts say, were the boundary between Heaven and Earth is naturally not as robust as the rest of the world. All of this Rev. Kirk likely knew when he wrote his second book, for which he would be better remembered Today. The Secret Commonwealth, which weaved together strange tales of a race of people who once dwelt beside mankind. A magical and noble people, who lived in the hills and trees of the wood, and under the mounds of the earth, who demanded respect, and offered good luck to those who gave it, and suffering to those who did not. They were the Fiery Folk. And in 1692, in the same year that Robert Kirk published his book, the little people carried him away to their land somewhere into the twilight of reality, never to be seen again.
