The Gilded Fleece

This audiobook narrates the compelling history of the Highland Clearances, focusing on the story of the Clann Varish in Wester Ross. It explores the dramatic changes following the Jacobite Rising of 1745 and the subsequent displacement of clanspeople to facilitate sheep farming, often through brutal means. Central to the story is Adam Metcalfe, appointed as a Deputy-Commissioner, who initially carried out orders but later opposed the removal, ultimately sacrificing his position to support the people.
