In this classic and deeply moving account, John Prebble tells the story of how the people of the Scottish Highlands were systematically driven from their lands by the very clan chiefs and landlords they had trusted. Following the aftermath of Culloden, communities that had spent centuries rooted in the glens were broken up, forced into poverty, and scattered abroad by a wave of evictions and forced clearances to make way for sheep.
Written with passion and a sharp eye for the human cost of "progress," Prebble brings the stark, empty landscapes of the north into sharp focus, explaining the deep-seated scars that still shape modern Scotland. It’s an essential, deeply affecting read for anyone interested in Scottish heritage and the true cost of history.
