“They deemed sheep to be more profitable than tenets.” That says it all.

Very poignant. Another grim story about the ruthlessness of wealthy landowners in Scotland and Ireland. Thank you for this. cheers from Canada

I so enjoyed your video. I’ll be starting on Sept. 11. I’m so looking forward to it. I’m going alone, 70 year old lady, so hopefully will meet others and enjoy the adventure.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for making this!! I totally agree on not spending to much time on screens, I often have wasted many a time doing this for long hours.

Let ME tell you something more like the real story. Triangulated.

They burned those inside huts that couldn't leave threw women and children back in

Made that a 15

Thank you for sharing your experience.🙏

Hi I am Zulfiqar Ali Mughal a RUclipsr watching from Hyderabad City Sindh Pakistan ❤

Please go to Cape Breton Island in Canada In the Gallic College, St Anne's, they have bilingual gallic/english signs, the great hall of clans, and many Scottish students coming to learn about their culture. Viva Canada!

It looks so fun. We don't have anything like that in Missouri that I know of but here everybody drives a lot.

It was a genocide of the Gaelic people. Deliberate. As was the handling of the Irish Famine.

How much is a standard room? Does this include two people and the cost of the rail ticket?

Lovely video! I've never been on a sleeper train, though always wanted to go on one. My only worry is that I love looking at the passing scenery when on the train, and at night I'd not be able to do that. So I'm a bit torn here! 😄

What a great way to travel... that is going on my bucket list of things to do. 😀

Was not expecting this to be so nostalgic and evocative for me. I've done my share of train travel by night, though usually with my little blanky-snuggling munchkin sprawled out on the double seat above, and me curled up on the floor underneath - trying not spill over into the aisle way! There is something about catching a glimpse of the moon from a train at night. I don't why. For someone like myself who leans vegan, your brekky looked like a delight. And what a bookshop. I just read WITW again recently...It's a marvel - no words, really!

Great to see that you've posted another video😊 Looking forward to your next adventure❤

Thanks Kat, Enjoy your adventure, looking forward to your Vlogs👍👍

You're coming to our part of the world, Welcome! Since visiting Scotland and Ireland I've always felt the eastern parts of our Great Northwest felt like them both in so many ways. Stay safe, and have a wonderful time!

I'm a little jealous....lol...I haven't ridden on a train in decades!! I can only imagine that sleeping on a train is somewhat akin to sleeping on a boat with the slight motion of the water rocking you to sleep. I truly hope yall found America to your liking!! Looking forward to seeing that video!

My only time sleeping on a train was the indian pacific in australia... it was lovely & thank you for sharing your wee journey with us!

I hope you enjoyed this wee adventure! 😄 Have you ever travelled by sleeper train?

Hi 🌿🍃have a beautiful weekend😊🐇

Oh, I didn’t want this adventure to end! How fun to sleep on the train.

What a nice accent you have Kat :)

what a nice voice and what a beautiful lass you are :D what they did to the scottish people is disgusting. is there any way to go back ?

So brutal!! Excellent Doc.👍

this is a great mini documentary! i enjoyed it a lot. the way you told the story while standing in an old crofting settlement, first talking about life there and then about the clearances really made me feel unsettled. I could almost feel the horror of them being dragged out of their homes.

The problem I have is letting go of sentimental items. Things that belonged to loved ones who are no longer here.. people and pets. Its like a part of them is still with me as long as I have the item.

Thank you for a beautiful and sensitively done documentary about the clearances. I am a descendent of the MacLeod family from Culacnoc, Skye who were forced to leave their croft and emigrated to Australia under the 'assisted emigration scheme'. My Great grandmother was the first MacLeod in our family tree to be born here, whilst her father Red Rory (Roderick) travelled to Australia on the Araminta, in 1852, aged just 4 years old. What a harrowing journey it was on a terribly ill-eqipped ship with a cruel and incompetent ship doctor who held terrible attitudes towards Gaelic speaking immigrants. Rory came out with his siblings and his parents, Red Sandy (Alexander) and Mary MacLeod. Their youngest, baby Hugh passed away 3 days after arrival. Mary and Sandy were contracted to work for one of the largest farms, Waldie's run in Ballarat Victoria, just prior to the Gold Rush. Mary was a dairy woman and Sandy a Shepherd. They saved 100 pounds in one year and purchased land in what is called the 'Central Highlands' region of Victoria, and this place was named 'Glendaruel'. They later acquired land in the Talbot/Creswick area and there are many places given names after significant landmarks in Skye and the Highlands. I have beautiful photos of Rory and his daughter, Mary, my Great-grandmother. Thank you once again, for helping to fill in parts of their story so that they are not forgotten over time and over oceans.

I'm a Londoner with a cockney accent. It's really tiresome living in Scotland because everyone thinks you are the epitome of pure evil and responsible for all of Scotland's historical woes. Every week I have to deal with this ginger bearded nationalist in my local supermarket who gives me the stink-eye on the checkouts, from the moment I approach, until the moment I am in the car park. Scottish kids these days grow up watching Braveheart and think its a historical document. All the English did was pay off the corrupt Scottish lords. Thats it. Blame the English, hate the English, but all of the evil work was done by Scots. I think Scotland is a great nation with the potential for being a great independent nation. But this will only happen when it sheds its corruption. Exactly the same circumstance that existed then, exist now. Scotland is more corrupt than any third world nation, and most government money circulates between a few "favoured contractors" and the Scottish Parliament. Westminster is utterly corrupt, but since moving up here I realised that Scotland is so corrupt it makes Egypt look like a role model for fiscal responsibility.

Thank you for that interesting information. It appears that, though people were evicted, there were no new structures built, as it looks like wide open land among a few relic homes. Very sad.

The Dukes of Sutherland….multi millionaires from the South of England, had the indigenous people forced off their lands to be replaced by sheep.

The Fife coastline villages are very nice I lived in Dysart for a while but my preference is western Highlands I also like Arran and Bute.

Fantastic video, I hope you find your cottage in the countryside one day. It makes me appreciate what I have a wee cottage in NE Scotland. I love the peacefulness, the wildlife, I am trying to grow a woodland for future generations and leave as much of our garden to nature. Trying to grow veg in an old polytunnel that has been battered by storms. Keep following your dreams.

I'm so glad to have found your channel! Since I was 5 years old I'm in love with Scotland. Every time I go I'm so happy and every time I leave i cry 😢. So thank you for sharing your life in your lovely country. He makes me travel from my house. ❤

Beautiful video and great advice!! For myself, the most critical aspect of 'simple living' is a positive, questioning and focused mindset. An example of that would be....when deciding to purchase any item, I ask myself: 'Do I need or want this item? How will this item streamline/simplify my life? Is there a membership required? Is this a consumable or non-consumable item?' Also on the subject of stuff you already have: 'If you haven't used it in a year it needs to go. And, everything has a place....so when you use an item, clean up after yourself.' Those are just a few tools I use to live simply.

Thank you so much for sharing these wonderfully helpful reminders! Clutter not only bogs down our space, but our minds, for sure! And spending time in nature is such good medicine. :)

3 step simple living, I EXPLAIN TO UNDERSTAND.NICE VIDEO. LIKE IT.❤

Thank you for this lovely reminder of value centered living.

Hi😊have a wonderful day 🌿🍃🐇

This immediately made me think of the Expulsion of the Acadians out of what is now Nova Scotia (New Scotland). Clearance, Expulsion, Ethnic Cleansing… different words with similar meanings and ending with the same devastating results. Thanks for posting.

Brain dumping has been a huge part of my life for many years... but I never knew what to call it! Thank you kat!

I really miss yoga... was more consistent 10 years ago, need to begin again...

Thank you for so many wee bits of treasured advice ;-)
