Emily In Scotland

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿A drag path.. but it’s the abandoned Crofts scattered across the Highlands of Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Highland Clearances were one of the darkest chapters in Scottish history. During the 18th and 19th centuries, thousands of Highland families were forcibly removed from their homes as landowners cleared land to make way for more profitable sheep farming. Entire communities were displaced, homes often burned to prevent them from returning. Many were left with little choice but to emigrate or seek a new life elsewhere. Today, the abandoned crofts scattered across the Highlands are haunting reminders of the people and communities who once lived here. #scotland #scottishhistory #highlandclearances #historytime #history
