Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sutherland and the Reay Country: History, Antiquities, Folklore, Topography, Regiments, Ecclesiastical Records, Poetry and Music, Etc.; With Numerous Portraits and Illustrations Sutherland, only two of these can be said to possess much historical value, viz Sir Robert Gordon's Earldom Of Sutherland and Robert Mackay's House and Clan of Mackay. Copies of these are somewhat scarce, and their price puts them beyond the reach of many. The want oi such a work as the present has been long felt, and the Editors considered it would greatly enhance its value if each subject were treated separately by the best authority pro curable. It will be readily understood that a considerable time was necessary in bringing together contributions from a variety of authors, and this accounts for the delay in the publication of the book. Subscribers, however, have lost nothing by the delay, as the volume has greatly exceeded the dimensions indicated in the prospectus, and contains 100 pages more than anticipated. It was intended at first to include chapters on the Natural History and Geology of Sutherland; but the exigencies of space, combined with the recent appearance of exhaustive works on these subjects by Mr. Harvie-brown, of Larbert, and Mr. Cadell, of Grange, induced the Editors to depart from their original intention. The Editors record, with thanks, their indebtedness for valuable assistance in the preparation of the work to Mr. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ...Moray Frith, along the coast to the Kyle of Tongue. The captain of the Hazard, finding that he could not escape from the man of war, ran his vessel aground on the sands below Melness, where the larger vessel could not follow. The money, which was in boxes, was safely landed, and the crew hoped to be able to march with their treasure to Inverness. They expected, also, that the country people would befriend them. But Captain Mackay, when he learned what had taken place, got together some other officers of the militia regiment and about 80 men, and attacked those who had landed from the Hazard. After a sharp engagement in which five of the Hazard's men were killed, and several wounded, Captain Mackay's company took the remainder--156 in number, mostly Frenchmen--prisoners, and secured also the money, amounting to upwards of; 12,000. The treasure was taken possession of by Lord Reay, and sent south by him in the man of war Sheerness, as were also the prisoners. The Hazard, at the same time, was taken south as a prize. See Gentleman's Magazine for May, 1746; and narrative by Colonel Ker, in Lyon in Mourning, vol. I., p. 358, published by "Scottish History Society," 1895. I do not find that either Lord Reay or Captain Mackay received any acknowledgment--not even an expressio n of thanks from the government--for this valuable service. The account of this affair, given in Robert Mackay's Clan History, is entirely misleading. The battle of Culloden which was fought about three weeks afterwards (on 16th April, 1746), put an end to any chance of the Stuarts being again placed on the throne. I have given this short historical sketch because during the transition period, to some of the leading events of which I have made reference, ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic, religious and cultural transformation of the northern Highlands in the years 1790 to 1850, can be linked directly to the Clearances - wholesale evictions of highland sub-tenants and small farmers by English landlords, who wished to make way for more profitable sheep farming. The low esteem in which English speakers regarded the Gaelic community and its language is evident. Yet, far from fighting change, the clergy stands accused of abetting the landlords by preaching the need for individual repentance and submission, thus securing a population passive towards the changes. Taking evidence from the far north of Sutherland and Ross - the epicentre of the crisis, author David Paton uses unusual and revealing evidence, including Gaelic poetry and descriptions of the emotional effects of a more complex and subtle picture. The form of Presbyterianism that sustained the Gaelic community in the Northern Highlands in the face of attack by an alien culture, simultaneously prevented effective protest and hindered the expression of a sense of injustice.
