Scotland: The Promised Land

Episode 2: Homes for Highland Heroes

Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast: on BBC Two ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Scotland

The second film in this series examines the grave problems facing Scotland's Highlands and Islands in the turbulent decade after the Great War. A deepening crisis was emerging as landowners went bankrupt, while crofters went hungry, starved of land. The future was indeed bleak for those who stayed and, for those who wanted out, subsidised passages to Britain's dominions awaited.
