By Lord Colin Campbell

Book Overview

The Crofter In History is a book written by Dalriad in 1885. It is a historical account of the life and struggles of crofters in Scotland during the 19th century. The book traces the history of crofting from its origins in the medieval period to the present day, focusing particularly on the social and economic conditions that shaped the lives of crofters.The author provides a detailed analysis of the crofting system, which was a form of land tenure that allowed small farmers to cultivate small parcels of land. He describes the various laws and regulations that governed crofting, including the notorious Highland Clearances, which forced many crofters to leave their land and emigrate to other countries.Throughout the book, Dalriad draws on a wide range of sources, including government reports, parliamentary debates, and personal accounts of crofters themselves. He paints a vivid picture of the hardships and challenges faced by crofters, including poverty, disease, and social isolation.Despite the difficulties they faced, however, the author also celebrates the resilience and resourcefulness of crofters, who managed to survive and even thrive in the face of adversity. The Crofter In History is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Scotland, the development of agriculture, and the struggles of rural communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
