“While the clearances in Sutherland were at their height in the second decade of the 19th century, around 1815, the clearances of the late 1840s and early 1850s – in places like South Uist and Barra – were far worse in terms of sheer brutality.”

—James Hunter, Director of the Centre for History at the University of the Highlands & Islands, selects five books on the history of the Highland Clearances

I read a contemporary letter, calling out the Marquis of Breadalbane for his depopulating tendencies in Glen Quaich by Amulree, over footage of driving through that area on one of our day trips 🏞️

Croick Church in Sutherland, which has reminders of the tragic story that brought word of the Highland Clearances to a much wider audience via an article in The Times on 2 June 1845; and which offers an intriguing mystery.

Question for Scottish folks:

Who remembers Reading the Desperate Journey by Kathleen Fiddler in the 1980s in Primary School?

It's for a thing.

Boosts welcome
