Some of Scotlands most successful artists will feature on a unique Best of album released to coincide with the independence referendum.
Made in Scotland features 59 tracks from artists ranging from Calvin Harris, Emeli Sandé and Paulo Nutini to Sixties folk star Donovan and cult bands including The Cocteau Twins and The Jesus & Mary Chain.
Compiled by Sony Music and released next Monday, MiS has been put together to mark a year that Scotland has dominated the news and wowed the world with the Commonwealth Games.
However, the three-disc album, described as a celebration of some of the best contemporary and heritage Scottish artists across all genres, is likely to boost the Yes campaign ahead of the national independence vote.
Songs that could be adapted as Yes victory anthems include Fairground Attractions Perfect, Feels Like Heaven by Fiction Factory and I Could Be Happy by Altered Images.

1880s was very much the tail-end of the Clearances - mainly early 19th century

OK-but "centuries ago" implies it was during the Wars of the Roses(or the reign of "Longshanks").

No, "centuries ago" implies "more than one" (and I meant "late 1700's-early 1800's).
