Best Answer
Disbanding the ClansThe reason for trying to destroy the clan structure was to break up the political basis for Jacobite rebellion against rule of the Hanoverians.

Here is more input:

  • By 1746, the United Kingdom was Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland (the Scots having never been conquered by England, and the English asked the Scots to join the political/economic/trading union in 1707. Therefore the BRITISH (which included Scots both Highland and Lowland) brought laws to attack the Highlanders way of life. One can say it WAS an overreaction, but the Protestant Scots and British did not want any more Catholic rebellions against Protestant Royals.

The above answer is spot on. ENGLAND didn't disband the Clans, the BRITISH Government did.
