With "improving landlords" threatening tradititonal social and cultural life in the Highlands, the author argues that many of the more affluent Highlanders - the tacksmen and substantial tenants - emigrated of their own accord. The book contains lists of every known vessel carrying emigrants plus every known passenger list of the period, and should prove a valuable source book for any work on the Clearances
