The Making of the Crofting Community has been seminal in bringing to the fore the injustices that have been inflicted on the Highlands in the name of government and landlord — injustices often lost in the name of dry statistics and academic balance.
Written by a man who has gone on to become both an award-winning historian of the Highlands and a leading figure in the public life of the region, The Making of the Crofting Community has attracted praise, inspired debate, and provoked outrage and controversy over the years. This book remains necessary to challenge standard academic interpretations of the Highland past.
