It analyses the many aspects of change including the policies of successive governments, the decline of the Gaelic language, the depressing of much of the population into peasantry and the clearances. Examines the Highlands and islands of Scotland over a long period and charts their cultural transformation from a separate region into one where the processes of Anglicization have largely succeeded.
