Apologies if this has been mentioned before (whilst I was off-list), but listers may be interested in the relatively recent publication of: Patrick Sellar and the Highland Clearances: Homicide, Eviction and the Price of Progress by Eric Richards (author of the 1980s 2 volume "Highland Clearances...") ISBN 1 902930 13 4 RRP: £16.99 Published by: Polygon at Edinburgh, 2 George Square, Edinburgh EH8 9LF I have only recently ordered my copy, but it sounds like a very good read for those interested in the Clearances - I believe Eric Richards' talk to the Gaelic Society of Inverness was reasonably contentious.
