In this poignant and moving final episode we’re joined by leading historian, Professor Sir Tom Devine, to learn about the history of the clearances and how Inverlael was cleared of its people. We follow sheriff’s officer Hugh Ross as he goes from house to house serving notice for the residents to leave their home in Balblair for good.

In this series of drama-documentaries with the help of Ullapool Museum, archaeologists and historical experts we’re bringing the people and stories of Balblair and Inverlael back to life. 8 snapshots, re-imagined moments in Highland history which have, until recently, been HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT.
