The Highland Clearances stands out as one of the most emotive
chapters in the history of Scotland.This book traces the origins of
the Clearances from the eighteenth century to their culmination in
the crofting legislation of the 1880s. In considering both the
terrible suffering of the Highland people as well as the stark
choices that faced landowners during a period of rapid economic
change, it shows how the Clearances were one of many 'attempted'
solutions to the problem of how to maintain a population on
marginal and infertile land, and were, in fact, part of a wider
European movement of rural depopulation. In drawing attention away
from the mythology to the hard facts of what actually happened, The
Highland Clearances offers a balanced analysis of events which
created a terrible scar on the Highland and Gaelic imagination.
