Patrick Sellar and the Highland Clearances
A balanced assessment of Patrick Sellar, a vivid account of a terrible episode in Highland history, and a riveting narration of a tormented life.
The Trial of Patrick Sellar
This second part of The Strathnaver Trilogy follows Chief of Mackay and describes the fulfilment of the anti-Gaelic, anti-Mackay policy of the House of Sutherland, under which the entire population of the north-west of Scotland was displaced in what became known as the Clearances.

Set Adrift Upon the World
Winner of Saltire Scottish History Book of the Year 2016 They would be better dead, they said, than set adrift upon the world.

A History of the Highland Clearances
First published in 1985, A History of the Highland Clearances: Volume 2 explores the various types of communal and intellectual responses, contemporary and retrospective, to the experience of the clearances. The first section considers the legacy of the two hundred years’ debate about the Highland problem and the place of the clearances therein. The second section assesses the scale, range and timing of the emigrations of the Highlanders, as well as some of the motivations. The third section contemplates the direct popular response to the clearances, the collective memory and the tradition of physical resistance. The fourth section is about the career, trial and reputation of Patrick Sellar, which together embodied much of the social history, ruling ideas, and the necessary mythology of the clearances. The final section considers the fundamental economic problem of the Highlands in the age of the clearances, and the moral and economic alternatives that faced the community, the landlords, and the nation.
