Publisher's Synopsis

""The Social And Economic Condition Of The Highlands Of Scotland Since 1800"" is a historical book written by Angus John Beaton and originally published in 1906. The book provides a detailed analysis of the social and economic changes that occurred in the Scottish Highlands during the 19th century. The author explores the impact of the Highland Clearances, which saw many people forcibly evicted from their homes and land, and the subsequent changes in agricultural practices. He also examines the growth of industry and tourism in the region, and the effects these developments had on the local population. The book draws on a range of sources, including government reports, statistical data, and personal accounts, to provide a comprehensive overview of the period. It is written in a scholarly style and is aimed at readers with an interest in Scottish history, as well as those studying social and economic change more broadly. Overall, ""The Social And Economic Condition Of The Highlands Of Scotland Since 1800"" is an important historical document that sheds light on a crucial period in Scottish history and provides valuable insights into the social and economic challenges faced by communities in the region.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
