Description
The Highland Clearances by John Prebble A devastating account of the aftermath of Culloden and the subsequent fate of the Highlanders. In this powerful reconstruction, John Prebble recounts how the people suffered at the hands of their own clan chiefs, while those in power grew rich on the backs of the landless. The consequences were dire: famine, poverty, and starvation, as well as mass emigration to foreign lands. The legacy of these events continues to shape the northern Highlands today. This book provides a stark and unflinching look at one of Scotland's darkest periods.
