註釋"The Glens of Silence explores the Scottish Highlands and Islands for some of the many remarkable places where crofter families were evicted during the years of the Clearances, from the end of the 18th to the late 19th century. We can still see the remains of their homes, the ridged fields where they grew their crops, and we can hear detailed and moving stories of their experiences from their descendants." "Twenty-four contrasting and representative locations have been chosen around the region, from Shetland to Colonsay and from Sutherland to Argyll, with Skye, Raasay and the Outer Hebrides. Their settings and poignant ruins are expressed in David Paterson's landscape photographs which open new windows on the epic terrain of the Clearances. David Craig's prose evokes in detail the experiences of eviction, in its mixture of suffering and defiance." --Book Jacket.
