In this new edition of his acclaimed book, Eric Richards traces the origins of the Clearances from the eighteenth century to their culmination of the crofting legislation of the 1880’s. In drawing attention away from mythology to hard facts of what actually happened, The Highland Clearances offers a balanced analysis of events which created a terrible scar on Highland Scotland.
