Highlands was a 6-part documentary series produced by SMG Productions and broadcast on STV in Northern and Central Scotland & The History Channel (UK), presented by Taggart actor John Michie.
Highlands focused on the Highland Clearances of the late 18th & early 19th centuries and the political & religious events that led to the forced displacements and widespread evictions which diluted the culture of area and led to mass emigration to the Lowlands, the coast and abroad.
Locations featured in the series included Culloden, Glenfinnan, Urquhart Castle, Strathcarron and Durness. The Earl of Cromartie and author/historian Jim Hunter were amongst the featured local highlanders and historians featured.
Since its original broadcast, the series has since been aired on The History Channel (UK) and released on DVD.[1]
