The Highland Clearances Trail

It is obvious there is a need for an investigation into the nature and scale of the Clearances. The facts have always been subject to revision, but now Rob Gibson's The Highland Clearances Trail systematically documents dates, places, names and numbers and in doing so nails the lie the Clearances were somehow a benevolent act by paternalistic landowners.

Answers the where, why, what and whens of the Highland Clearances and provides an alternative route around the Highlands that will leave the reader with a deeper understanding of this sublime landscape.
