Failte gu Fuadach nan Gaidhealt na h-Alba.
The Highland Clearances were a devestating part of the history of Scotland. For many it changed not only their way of life but also shaped the rural future of Scotland. Many villagers suffered at the hands of their landlords and tackmen and fought a desperate struggle to find a new life. Others managed to propser in a new life that never saw them return to Scotland again. Here is a resource that supports the documentation and historical value of this important area of Scottish history. You can follow in the footsteps of these villagers and find detailed descriptions and locations of the remains of some of the villages and townships through site descriptions, photographs and suggestions for further reading and links to follow.



Escorted Tours

Visiting highland clearance sites can be a very rewarding and an interesting way to spend a day,  helping to retrace family steps or just to enagage in the beauty of the surroundings. 
 
Perthshire is where Lowland Scotland meets the Highlands and has long been an important crossroads for travel between Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen & Inverness. and provides a great starting point to visit villages and townships. Other areas can also be included.




Join me on escorted small, friendly, informal and informative tours from the comfort of a landrover, around township sites, that are easily accesible to all and take in the breathtaking scenery of the Highlands and Perthshire. Tours can be tailored to start from your hotel or accommodation and include lunch. Tours can also include other activities at the end of the day that may include a wee dram in a local distillery!
