7. Exposure of these crimes, our recent history. It should be shameful to any right-minded person.

The violence that had driven people from their homes is gone now, there are none left. Its odd to walk the highlands with this knowledge that. That glen or strath would have been full of a vibrant and rich culture and Scottish people. True stories of people seeking shelter at churches telling their stories written on the windows, is heartbreaking. The level at which this ethnic and cultural destruction at which the highlands of Scotland has never recovered. Hopefully with the proper reconvening of the Scottish Parliament and Scottish state we can prioritise ways and means to encourage a long over due recovery from its unnatural state.
