Summary

Clearances in Harris and landlords in the area.

The contributor knew of an old woman who remembered the clearances in Harris. The Stewarts owned the land and were said to be bad landlords. The contributor has a fragment of a song composed by a man who was cleared to the Bays. People found it hard to get used to the land there after living on the west of Harris.
