Twilight of the Scottish Highlands

"Twilight of the Scottish Highlands" refers to the period when traditional Highland culture, land use, and way of life dramatically declined during the 18th and 19th centuries. This era saw the dismantling of clan society, the suppression of Gaelic customs, and significant changes in landownership due to events like the Highland Clearances. As a result, many Highlanders were displaced, facing economic hardship and cultural loss. It marks a transformation from a traditional, clan-based society to one integrated into modern Britain, often accompanied by nostalgia for a disappearing way of life.
