Summary
The Clearances.
The Gordons bought Clanranald's land. The Gordons cleared people off the land and they emigrated to America. At the time of the Clearances, they used to burn people's houses. A man from Skye was evicted from his house and died in a tiny bothy. Iain mac Eachainn, 'Fear Dhreumasdail', drove people out to the back of Benmore. He ill-treated the people and their animals but ended up in poverty himself.
