Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of Saltire Scottish History Book of the Year They would be better dead, they said, than set adrift upon the world. But set adrift they were - thousands of them, their communities destroyed, their homes demolished and burned. Such were the Sutherland Clearances, an extraordinary episode, involving the deliberate depopulation of much of a Scottish county. What was done in the course of that episode was planned and carried out by a small group of men and one woman. Most of those involved wrote a great deal about their actions, intentions and feelings, and much of it has been preserved. There are no equivalent collections of material from those whose communities ceased to exist. Their feelings and fears are harder to access, but they are by no means irrecoverable. In this book James Hunter tells the story of the Sutherland Clearances. His researches took him to archives in Scotland, England and Canada, to the now deserted straths of Sutherland, to the frozen shores of Hudson Bay. The result is a gripping, moving, definitive account of a people's struggle for survival in the face of tragedy and disaster which includes experiences which have not featured in any previous such account.

Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sutherland Evictions of 1814: Former and Recent Statements Respecting Them Examined The publication, in the course of the past year, of state ments injurious to the memory 'of Mr. Patrick Sellar has cast upon the writer, as his representative, the task of entering on a public discussion of matters, long gone by, in which Mr. Sellar took part. It is needless to say that this discussion would gladly have been avoided, if only on account of the reluctance felt by Mr. Sellar's family to publish to the world a narrative of personal details. They also felt that the public might justly resent the intrusion of personal matters into the consideration of a great question, - namely, the question by what means improvement in the condition of the Highlands may best be effected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982, A History of the Highland Clearances looks at the forcible clearance of tenants from land they had farmed for centuries by landlords in the Highlands of Scotland in the early nineteenth century. It examines the general context of historical change, provides a full narrative of the clearances and offers a critical evaluation of the documentary sources upon which the entire story depends. By placing his subject in its historical perspective and into the context of the rest of Britain and Europe, Eric Richards vividly illustrates the realities of the Highland experience in the age of the clearances.

The river Naver, issuing from the loch of the same name, and running its course of some eighteen or twenty miles nearly due north to its mouth in the Pentland Firth, divides the strath into two portions of unequal natural fertility. The picturesque mountain of Cliebrig, rising on the other side of Loch Naver to a height of over 3,000 feet, closes in the scene to the south, and the strath, as it now appears, has a certain pastoral beauty. The left or western side rises in most places gradually from the river bank, and in the lower portion of it extends in long low haughs or meadows, suitable for tillage. In the year 1814 it contained a considerable population, holding under tacksmen. With this bank and its population the present narrative is not concerned. No one on that side of the river Naver was affected by any 'clearances' carried out during Mr. Sellar's factorship.1 The right bank, that on the east side, rises in most places abruptly from the river, and the nearer hills 1 It was the ' clearance' from this bank and what he termed the 'vast heaps of ruined claehans' he 'came upon' during his walk down that side of the river (see introductory chapter to Lays of the Highlands and Islands, by Professor Blackie, London, 1872), over which Professor Blackie, twenty years ago, shed the tears to which he refers in his letter of December 5 (Appendix, p. xoix.). To this 'clearance' he constantly refers, applying first one opprobrious epithet to it and then another. It was not carried out by Mr. Sellar. ascend to a greater height, and more steeply than those on the opposite side. There are few signs now on that bank of former settlements (at least in the upper part of the strath, where the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the mid-nineteenth century until the end of World War I, the Sutherland Estate was the largest landed estate in western Europe; at 1.1 million acres, the ducal family owned almost the entire county of Sutherland as well as a further 30,000 acres in England. The estate was owned by the dukes of Sutherland, who were among the richest patrician landowners of the period; from the early nineteenth century, however, the family were shadowed by their reputation as great clearance landlords, something that would come back to haunt them throughout the coming decades
