Allan Conn | BS: Excellent Highland Clearances discussion (93* d) | RE: BS: Excellent Highland Clearances discussion | 24 Mar 18 |
I don't really think a thread on the Highland Clearances need go down an "everything is the fault of the evil English"avenue. Sure there were some individual English landlords involved but the bulk of the people who evicted people off the land were Scots and pretty often themselves Highlanders. They might have been an anglicised upper land-owning section of the Scottish population but they were still Scots. Senoufou is correct in saying it was about profitability. Very much a class issue. |
