Condition of the Poor in the Highlands of Scotland
Tapaso Caithness June 10. The writer describes Caithness as an agricultural county with thriving small farms and a middle class tenantry, contrasting with Sutherlandshire’s sheep farming and clearances. Rental and population have grown in Caithness since 1815, with many cottages, industry, and towns like Thurso and Wick supporting rope making and shipbuilding. The piece argues that sheep farming harms poor people and land value, noting stagnant rents in Sutherland while Caithness expands. It also details parish pauper relief, charitable funds, and the impact of church disestablishment on welfare, highlighting substantial tenancy warnings in Wester and Easter Ross and Cromarty.
