Life in the UK Exam 7
What is the name of the process by which many Scottish landlords destroyed individual small farms (known as ‘crofts’) to make space for large flocks of sheep and cattle?
Correct Answer: The Highland Clearances
The Highland Clearances was the forced eviction of Scottish tenant farmers (crofters) by landlords who replaced their small holdings with large-scale sheep and cattle farming during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Many displaced families emigrated to North America and Australia, permanently changing the demographic of the Highlands.
