Description:As Scotland's parliament begins to get into its stride,one issue above all unites its members and parties:the issue of land reform in the Highlands. That reform is one that the Highlands - and Scotland - have waited many a year to witness. Y et land reform is nothing new in the north of Scotland. It is a tradition that goes back two centuries,running fron the terrible aftermath of Culloden and the Highland Clearences to the raiding of land in the Hebrides and the mainland after World War II.Highland Resistance explores the issues of anti-landlord conflict and land-raiding from the great sheep drives in Sutherland at the end of the eighteenth century to the resistance against eviction that characterised the worst years of the terrible Clearances. From the huge crofters' agitation of the 1880s,when crofters demanded their rights as political prisoners, to the continuing inter-war raiding and the last great land grab at Knoydart in the late 1940s, no stone is left unturned.In his timely portrayal of the political veiws prevalent in the Highlands today, Iain Fraser Grigor reveals the continuing tradition in the Highlands of opposition to cultural and economic colonialism and the fervent support for Home Rule and,in many cases independence.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
