Highland Land League

The Highland Land League was a Scottish political movement in the late 19th century that aimed to address issues faced by Highland communities, primarily focusing on land reform. It advocated for greater rights for tenant farmers, including fairer rent prices and the redistribution of land from landlords to tenants. The league sought to preserve Highland culture and resist absentee landlords who owned large estates but did not live or work in the region. Its efforts contributed to significant land reforms in Scotland, improving conditions for local inhabitants and promoting regional autonomy.
