The Lowland Clearances by Peter Aitchison
The Highland Clearances are a well-documented episode in Scotlands past but they were not unique. The process began in the Scottish Lowlands nearly a century before, when tens of thousands of people were moved from the land by estate owners who replaced them with livestock or enclosed fields of crops.
