"Echoes of the Clearances" – A Heartfelt Journey Through Mull's History

Set against the rugged beauty of the Isle of Mull, Echoes of the Clearances tells the powerful story of one family's fight to endure amidst the heartbreak of the Highland Clearances. Through the lives of the MacGillivray family and their neighbours, the novel transports readers to the once-thriving townships of Burg, Shiaba, Killunaig, and the beautiful Isle of Iona, where crofting communities faced eviction and displacement.

As the MacGillivrays struggle to hold onto their land and traditions, the novel vividly captures the pain of forced migration and the resilience of a people bound by kinship, culture, and the land they call home. Their journey is one of survival, love, and the unyielding hope to preserve their identity in the face of overwhelming loss.
