It seems that our history goes back further than you thought. From
David Lyons' coffee-table book "Scotland", p. 184, reproduced as
printed, but for the elisions:
...the event which most shaped Highlanders were the Highland
Clearances, which started in the late 18th and continued into the
early 19th century...this was when ambitious landowners cleared the
land of people in favor of sheep farming...the upshot was that
thousands of poor framers...were thrown off their ancestral lands or
out of their townships to fend for themselves with little or no
resources to help them.
Tout ca change, if you're on a Mac.
Graeme Forbes
