During the Highland Clearances of the nineteenth century, Scotland experienced one of the darkest periods in its history with the near destruction of its highland clansman, their culture and their language.The vivid, in some cases firsthand, experiences described in the near contemporary writings to be found in The Highland Clearances, bring to life those terrible times and remind us that to this day most of the lands that were once populour clan territories are still owned by alien or absentee landlords.
