Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Scotland, Vol. 2: As It Was and as It Is There is a theory very prevalent in the popular literature of Scotland that the last Jacobite Rebellion, which arose in July 1745 and was quelled on the Moor of Culloden in April 1746, marks the date of a great change in the landed tenures of the Highlands. The notion is, that before that date the old native population of the country lived in some condition of Arcadian bliss, founded on the relation between Celtic Clansmen and their Chiefs, whilst subsequent to that date their position became soon changed, and lowered into the modern relation between Tenant and Landlord, or between Owners and Occupiers of the soil. The facts and documents which have been already dealt with in these pages, prove that this theory is a dream built up out of two separate delusions. One of these delusions is in respect to the true nature of the change which was involved in the passage from Celtic dues and services to rents fixed by contract or agreement.
