About the book

John Prebble's The Highland Clearances examines the forced displacement of many Highland communities during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Landowners increasingly replaced traditional tenants with more profitable sheep farming and other commercial uses of the land. Prebble describes eviction, migration and the destruction of long-established communities in one of the most controversial periods of Scottish social history.
