Lowland clearances
Tom Devine, director of the Centre for Irish and Scottish Studies at Aberdeen University, is quoted at length on the Lowland Clearances, of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, by Leon McDermott in the Sunday Herald.
The Lowland Clearances caused more actual evictions than the Highland Clearances, but were more successful and left less bitterness, according to Devine’s analysis.
