Yet some working in the media believe it to be blamed on other reasons,shame on them. This part of Scottish history needs to be told more🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇫🇷

I confess, both yourself and David launched me into my lifelong yearning for the outdoors. I saw the BBC Wilderness Walks in 1997 and was up in Knoydart within a month of passing my driving test not long thereafter. A somewhat delayed... THANK-YOU.... 💕

I have David Craig's book, "On the Crofters Trail". I bought it many years ago. A very sad read. Mans inhumanity to man. Very sad.

Wonderful but sad . Enjoyed every minute of this thank you for sharing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

Thanks Cameron we need reminded at how cruel our people were treated.

We visited Boreraig this year walking from the old marble works, it was a moving experience thinking about what it must have been like for those crofters, and what a great insight that was from David. R.I.P.

Lovely words Cameron. I’ve enjoyed David’s writing ever since I watched your Wilderness Walks with David. Touched me and inspired me. Thank you so much.

A fine tribute to a very fine man. Away to purchase a copy of 'The Crofter's Trail!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

I never knew about this history. I love learning history about different countries. Peace and love from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.❤

just upsets me every time I see, hear or think about these horrible times. Man's inhumanity to men. My relatives on my mother's side where remove and ended up on a very rocky, wild bit of land. I often look at it and think how anybody could survive a life there.

Visited those villages a few yews ago and found it a moving experience, I’ll have to get David’s book

I’ve read David Craig’s book on the crofters trail. It’s a brilliant read. Thank you for the video Cameron

I remember that wilderness walk it was really good I videoed it and watched it a lot

A moving tribute.

I've never heard of this book I'll certainly seek a copy out. The so called Aristocracy and land owners have a lot to answer for. Thanks for sharing and keep em coming

I remember watching Wilderness Walks where you both were walking in Wester Ross. Even in that short program he came across as a fascinating man. ⭐️

seems he was very passionate regarding the clearances . Glad for his contribution on this very important time .

There are pictures of James Loch and Patrick Seller in the Gents Toilet above the urinals in the Lismore Bar, Dumbarton Road, Glasgow. If you visit the bar please go into the Gent's and pay your respects accordingly.

Do they have their pictures at the bottom of the toilet bowls as well?

Lest we forget.

Cape Breton Island has the highest percentage of people of Highland Scots ancestry outside of the Highlands themselves. Gaelic was widely spoken until the mid twentieth century. There’s still places like Mabou where it’s still alive. There’s a Gaelic College in St. Anne’s.

My great grandfather John Craig moved from Scotland to Mpls. Mn. in the mid 1860's. He had a trade as a steam pipe fitter and did well. I wonder if it was these Clearances caused his move, or if he even lived in those areas. Any info. would be valued please. William Craig son of David John Craig.

Human greed, in this case English greed ruins everything. The Crown has so much suffering to answer for spanning the Globe and many hundreds of years. Not my King!!

it was also Scots who were responsible

I don't know none of you, but what a nice homage

Did David Craig ever speak of a lifting stone as a test of strength in boreraig?

tragic😪

My Southern Scots ancestors routed the highlanders at Culloden.
