Letter: Unworthy Scots?
The evictions lasted for more than a hundred years and many of the tyrannical landlords and clan chiefs were sitting members in the House of Commons or the House of Lords.
The expulsion of the people was in many instances perpetrated by landlords who had been knighted by the Royal Family. My progenitors were evicted and landed in a dense Canadian forest having survived a tempestuous Atlantic voyage.
Do we not merit an apology or are we in the eyes of the British establishment less worthy than the Irish?
