Sure Keith and I love those parts of England too, and places like the Lake District, Yorkshire, and so on.

Anyway, Scottish emigration was called "the Clearances" and it's a very emotive and suppressed topic, as the topic of the Famine is in Ireland. Needless to say, many English emigrated to Australia, Canada or the USA as well. Neither England, Ireland, Scotland nor Wales can opine that they weren't affected by hunger and emigration. It was a shared part of the history of these isles.

By the way there's a fine bronze Scottish Emigrants sculpture by artist Gerald Laing located at Helmsdale in Sutherland.
