At the start of the 18th century, roughly 30% of Scots lived in the Highlands and Islands. By the turn of the 20th century, the figure was only 8%. It is estimated that somewhere around 70,000 people were driven out of their homes and their country. And there continue to be ripple effects of the Highland Clearances down to the present day.
The Highland Clearances is a deeply complex subject. In this video we set the stage, then illustrate two of the most egregious examples of what happened.
