GLENDESSERAY AND LOCHARKAIG

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.
