Homes for Highland Heroes
Episode 2 of 3
Documentary series examining the political changes that shaped modern-day Scotland. A look at the problems facing the Highlands following World War I.
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.
Narrated by Ken Stott.
