Explores the relationship between economic changes in the Highlands and the clansmen's emigration to Canada in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This title challenges the accepted position endorsed in works by Eric Richards and J M Bumsted that the clearances and sheep farms did not have a central role in provoking mass emigration.
