The History of the Highland Clearances

Mackenzie, Alexander; Macpherson, Ian MP (intro)

About the book

In the 19th century, many of the inhabitants of the highland glens were cleared out, often by forcible eviction, to make way for a more profitable tenant the Great Cheviot Sheep. Families had to leave the homes they had lived in for generations. The effects of this tragedy are still being felt in Scotland and in all countries where the unwilling migrants settled. MacKenzie’s impassioned history brings the distress of the age unforgettably to life.
