The Highland Clearances of Scotland (A Short Documentary)
The Highland Clearances of Scotland (A Short Documentary)
The Highlands of Scotland – known for their immense beauty, legends of old, and one of the last wild, sparsely populated places in Europe. The rugged terrain and wild weather may cause you to think that it has always been this way - but there was a time when these lands weren’t quite so empty.
In this short documentary, I'll take you to the abandoned village of Arichonan in Argyll and back into history to discover crofting communities and the highland clearances that dispersed them.
In the second half of the documentary, we'll touch upon the Scottish Gaelic Renaissance and the work being done to preserve the Gaelic language and culture.

Highland Clearances
Season 04 : British Isles
Episode 01 : Highland Clearances : Scotland, UK
A person’s home country is often closely tied to their identity. Even countries with similarities like the United States, Canada and England have their own customs and heritage that makes the people born there unique. It’s easy to assume that continuing to call your country home is your birthright. After all, you were born there and citizenship is all you know. Sometimes though, outsiders can take that birthright away.

Evicted By Force - The Tragedy of the Highland Clearances
At the start of the 18th century, roughly 30% of Scots lived in the Highlands and Islands. By the turn of the 20th century, the figure was only 8%. It is estimated that somewhere around 70,000 people were driven out of their homes and their country. And there continue to be ripple effects of the Highland Clearances down to the present day.
The Highland Clearances is a deeply complex subject. In this video we set the stage, then illustrate two of the most egregious examples of what happened.

What they Don't Say About Highland Clearance
The Highland Clearances seem like a relentlessly negative story of downtrodden victims. However there were small victories for poor Highland tennants. Scottish history tour guide, Bruce Fummey, tells the tale of the women of Coigach, and how they made a stand against the family with the worst reputations of all clearing landlords.

HIGHLAND CLEARANCES, HENRY DUNDAS, AND THE SCOTTISH SLAVE TRADE: Oh, and the Duke of Sutherland
In HIGHLAND CLEARANCES, HENRY DUNDAS, AND THE SCOTTISH SLAVE TRADE: And the Duke of Sutherland Scottish history tour guides Bruce Fummey links three of the tales from Scotlands History that are too often obscured. At the time of filming we are in the middle of a discussion of Black Lives Matter #BLM. The debate about racial justice has often focused on controversial statues, Henry Dundas the most prominent. The Scottish slave trade is almost forgotten in our consciousness, but the Highland clearances remain.
Even Robert the Bruce has been bizarrely brought into the recent statue debate. I hope this video provides a broad context

The Highland Clearances of Scotland (A Short Documentary)
The Highlands of Scotland – known for their immense beauty, legends of old, and one of the last wild, sparsely populated places in Europe. The rugged terrain and wild weather may cause you to think that it has always been this way - but there was a time when these lands weren’t quite so empty.
In this short documentary, I'll take you to the abandoned village of Arichonan in Argyll and back into history to discover crofting communities and the highland clearances that dispersed them.
In the second half of the documentary, we'll touch upon the Scottish Gaelic Renaissance and the work being done to preserve the Gaelic language and culture.
This video was made in collaboration with Pressenza International Press Agency: www.pressenza.com
Chapters:
0:00 Introduction to the Highlands

The Highland Clearances and the Death of the Scottish Clan System
Did the Highland Clearances destroy the Scottish clan system? Well sort of, but it’s not that simple. Few events in Scottish history had such a profound impact as the Highland Clearances, not only on the clan system, but the resulting emigration from Scotland is one key reason why so many people of Scottish heritage live in places such as the US, Canada and Australia to name a few. I know a lot of people from the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries watch this channel, so if you have a story about the highland clearances in your family history, I would love to hear about it in the comments below…
On a very high-level, the Highland Clearances were the forced eviction of inhabitants of the Highlands and the western islands beginning in the 18th century and continuing intermittently into the mid-19th century. People were forced to leave their homes and many were burned out, with the removals clearing the land of people primarily to allow for the introduction of the more profitable sheep farming. The clearances also had a profound impact on the clan system and the highland way of life, but the destruction of the Scottish clan system did not start with the clearances (more of them later), it started hundreds of years earlier.
The story starts with this guy. What the hell is he wearing a? Imagine walking down a rough part of Glasgow with that on today. He ruled as the King of Scotland as James VI from 1567 and King of England and Ireland as James I from the union of the Scottish and English crowns on 24 March 1603 until his death in 1625. It is confusing that he has two names, was he not thinking about YouTubers in 2023, so I’m just going to call him James I in this video.
When James ascended the throne of England in 1603, he moved south to Westminster and ruled Scotland from there, only visiting Scotland once more before he died. It was under his reign that the Ulster plantation began for Irish viewers by the way. James I was very suspicious of the highland clans, and in order to better control the north, James kept the chiefs away from their clans for extended periods, requiring them to do duties that kept them away from their people. This was to ensure that the peoples’ allegiance was to their King and not to their clan Chief. Official documents from the time described the people of the Highlands as "void of the knawledge" who were prone to "all kynd of barbarous and bestile cruelteis". The Gaelic language, spoken fluently by James IV, became known in the time of James VI as "Erse" or Irish, implying that it was foreign in nature.

The Highland Clearances and the Death of the Scottish Clan System
Did the Highland Clearances destroy the Scottish clan system? Well sort of, but it’s not that simple.

Scotland History Tours is here for people who want to learn about Scottish history and get ideas for Scottish history tours. I try to make videos which tell you tales from Scotland's past and give you information about key dates in Scottish history and historical places to visit in Scotland. Not all videos are tales from Scotland's history, some of them are about men from Scotland's past or women from Scotland's past. Basically the people who made Scotland. From April 2020 onward I've tried to give ideas for historic days out in Scotland. Essentially these are days out in Scotland for adults who are interested in historical places to visit in Scotland.
As one of Scotland history tour guides people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation of your from the US. So from April 2020 I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.

In HIGHLAND CLEARANCES, HENRY DUNDAS, AND THE SCOTTISH SLAVE TRADE: And the Duke of Sutherland Scottish history tour guides Bruce Fummey links three of the tales from Scotlands History that are too often obscured. At the time of filming we are in the middle of a discussion of Black Lives Matter #BLM. The debate about racial justice has often focused on controversial statues, Henry Dundas the most prominent. The Scottish slave trade is almost forgotten in our consciousness, but the Highland clearances remain.
Even Robert the Bruce has been bizarrely brought into the recent statue debate. I hope this video provides a broad context
