The Highland Clearances | A Walk Through a Forgotten Scottish Glen Sleep Story

from Caledonia Sleeps · host Caledonia Sleeps

Tonight we walk through a quiet Highland glen under the moonlight, where the ruins of old crofts and the ridges of ancient lazy beds tell the story of one of Scotland's most enduring sorrows, the Highland Clearances. From the warmth of the clachan and the Gaelic-speaking townships that once filled these glens, to the burning of Strathnaver, the words scratched into the glass at Croick Church, the emigrant ships crossing to Nova Scotia, and the poetry of Sorley MacLean, this is a slow, atmospheric journey through history told from the ground up.Perfect for fans of Scottish history, Highland folklore, Celtic heritage, and anyone who loves calm, educational narration for sleep or relaxation.Also available with relaxing visuals on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CaledoniaSleeps
