This is a well written account of David Craig's odyssey from the highlands of Scotland to places in Canada where the immigrants made their homes, to find what remains of the memories of the Highland Clearances. It was a cruel time that saw people who had lived on the land for centuries being ousted to make way for sheep. Craig proves to himself and the reader that the memories live on and will continue as long as they are captured in print.

The writing is wonderful and the descriptions are almost lyrical. A great read for those who are interested in this period of Scottish and Canadian history, especially poignant for those whose family history was shaped by the clearances.… (mere)

Poetically written and interesting for the history of the crofters that were cleared from the Scottish valleys to make way for sheep.

An excellent account of the cruelty of the Highland Clearances, showing how people were booted off their land, and where they ended up. Well researched, but a painful read.
