www.theclearances.org
The website will tell some of the stories from the Highland Clearances, their
aftermath and consequences. There is no shortage of literature on the subject
but most of it concentrates on the what and the why. This site is more
concerned with the who: whether one considers the Clearances ethnic cleansing
or economic necessity or something in-between, the whole is made up of many
different stories: most sad, some happy; of greed, of despair and,
occasionally, of altruism. Some of them are not even narrative - a passenger
record, 'died on board, aged 8'. One account cannot reconcile them. Form your
own conclusions or reinforce prejudices you already hold but all the stories
are important, to our past, our present and our future.

exists, or knows someone who is a member.
