The Scottish Highlands WERE populated until about 150 to 200 years ago when the people were evicted from their homes by English landlords to make way for sheep which were much more profitable. This was known as the 'Highland Clearances'. Many of the people who were evicted, emigrated to the USA and Canada, so if you have a neighbour with a Scottish surname, his ancestors may well have been crofters in the Highlands.
