First published in 1985, A History of the Highland Clearances:
Volume 2 explores the various types of communal and intellectual
responses, contemporary and retrospective, to the experience of the
clearances. The first section considers the legacy of the two
hundred years' debate about the Highland problem and the place of
the clearances therein. The second section assesses the scale,
range and timing of the emigrations of the Highlanders, as well as
some of the motivations. The third section contemplates the direct
popular response to the clearances, the collective memory and the
tradition of physical resistance. The fourth section is about the
career, trial and reputation of Patrick Sellar, which together
embodied much of the social history, ruling ideas, and the
necessary mythology of the clearances. The final section considers
the fundamental economic problem of the Highlands in the age of the
clearances, and the moral and economic alternatives that faced the
community, the landlords, and the nation.
