Clearance and Improvement: Land, Power and People in Scotland, 1700-1900
Tom M. Devine
The drama and tragedy of Highland history during 1700-1800 have attracted many authors, whereas the Lowland experience, that of the majority of Scots, hardly any. This book attempts to redress that balance. It examines why this era, associated with failure, famine and clearance in Gaeldom, is remembered as one of 'improvements' in the Lowlands.
