As far as Canada goes, I would suggest 'On The Crofters' Trail - In Search of the Clearance Highlanders' by David Craig ISBN 0-7126-7383-0 "David Craig travelled through twenty-one islands in Scotland and Canada, as well as many thousands of miles of moor and glen. 'On the Crofters' Trail' brings before us the men and women of both countries as they recount in their own words the agony of their forbears." "We're sailing west, we're sailing west To prairie lands sunkissed and blest - The crofter's trail to happiness.
