First published by the New York Public Library in 1946, Black's The Surnames of Scotland has long established itself as one of the great classics of genealogy. Arranged alphabetically, each entry contains a concise history of the family in question (with many cross-references), making it an indispensable tool for those researching their own family history, as well as readers with a general interest in Scottish history. An informative introduction and glossary also provide much useful information.
Winner of Saltire Scottish History Book of the Year They would be better dead, they said, than set adrift upon the world. But set adrift they were - thousands of them, their communities destroyed, their homes demolished and burned. Such were the Sutherland Clearances, an extraordinary episode, involving the deliberate depopulation of much of a Scottish county. What was done in the course of that episode was planned and carried out by a small group of men and one woman. Most of those involved wrote a great deal about their actions, intentions and feelings, and much of it has been preserved. There are no equivalent collections of material from those whose communities ceased to exist. Their feelings and fears are harder to access, but they are by no means irrecoverable. In this book James Hunter tells the story of the Sutherland Clearances. His researches took him to archives in Scotland, England and Canada, to the now deserted straths of Sutherland, to the frozen shores of Hudson Bay. The result is a gripping, moving, definitive account of a people's struggle for survival in the face of tragedy and disaster which includes experiences which have not featured in any previous such account.
This ground breaking and original book conjures up an increasingly lost way of life: that of the sheep farmers of the far north of Scotland - their work, lives, families and how these changed over two hundred years. The book makes an enormous contribution to our understanding of a long neglected facet of Highland history. It does so in the most accessible way: through the long history of one family - the Clarkes - in one place - Eriboll - but which speaks for many.The history and voice of sheep farmers has long been ignored in the past, to the peril of current and future farming. As the author demonstrates his knowledge and understanding of the land and how it must be managed, we might all benefit from listening to this point of view and approaching the key asset of the north - the land - with more respect than has hitherto been shown.
