A sign of the clearances?
The Harvest looks to be ready and the fence helps to support the wall,
This is one of the hundreds of abandoned houses in the Highlands
The Highland Clearances were a series of forced evictions of tenant families from the Scottish Highlands and Islands, primarily between about 1750 and 1860, Landlords (often Scottish clan chiefs or their successors) removed people from their traditional smallholdings to make way for more profitable land uses, especially large-scale sheep farming.
Historians commonly cite around 70,000–150,000 people displaced over the period, with many emigrating to Canada, the US, Australia, or New Zealand.
HFF and a good weekend, Large view the preferred option!
