Highland Resistance: The Radical Tradition in the Scottish North Book

This study of land reform in the Highlands explores the issues of landlord-and-tenant conflict and land raiding, from the great sheep drives in Sutherland at the end of the 18th century to the resistance against eviction that characterized the worst years of the terrible Clearances. It covers the crofters' agitation of the 1880s, when crofters demanded their rights as political prisoners, the continuing inter-war raiding and the last great land grab at Knoydart in the late 1940s. The book reveals the continuing tradition in the Highlands of opposition to cultural and economic colonialism and the fervent support for Home Rule, and in many cases, for independence. It is an account of the Highlanders' fight for ownership of their homeland and the effects of social and political reform on their way of life.Read More
