Description
Written by Rob Gibson
This book systematically documents the Highland Clearances of the past 200 years, guiding the reader round sights of particular evictions and memorials and providing facts and figures which show the true extent of the destruction of Highland communities.
Rob Gibson presents the real past of the Highlands, full of complexities and local variations. From The Strathrusdale Sheep Drive to the Battle of the Braes, he has brought together the story of the Clearances from a Highland perspective, using evidence from Napier Commission reports, bardic poetry and oral accounts.
