Hello all I can add to Lyndall' book list. I purchased the new "Patrick Sellar and the Highland Clearances" by Eric Richards last week. Engrossing! Certainly worth the money.

I was sent an email tonight from the Orkney and it said that my John McDonald was evicted from Kirkstone in the Parish of Farr during sheep clearances and arrived in the Orkney in 1820. I dont think personally that the parish was Kirkstone.....is there such a place?? Cathy ==== SCT-SUTHERLAND Mailing List ==== You may, at times, wish to check out previous messages to this list.
