Discover Scotland Guestbook > Nice Site

By Joe, from Canada

You have a very nice site. My great great great grandparents were kicked out of the island of Barra around 1820 to make way for sheep raising, and they moved to Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. I still hope to visit someday even though I'm 71 years old.


My reply :

Thanks Joe. Your family got caught up in the 'Highland Clearances' of that time, like so many others. That's why there's so many people with Scottish ancestry around the world today. I hope you manage that visit someday.
