Great numbers were evicted
from the Cameron country of Lochaber, especially from Glendesseray and
Locharkaig side. Indeed it is said that there were so few Camerons left
in the district, that not a single tenant of the name attended the
banquet given by the tenantry when the late Lochiel came into
possession. The details of Cameron evictions would be found pretty much
the same as those in other places, except that an attempt has been made
in this case to hold the factor entirely and solely responsible for the
removal of this noble people, so renowned in the martial history of the
country. That is a question, however, which it is no part of our present
purpose to discuss. What we wish to expose is the unrighteous system
which allowed such cruel proceedings to take place here and elsewhere,
by landlord or factor. |
