Sorley MacLean, frequently called "the greatest Gaelic poet of the
20th century", to whom the author had sent part of the work, wrote
on 29 August 1994: "Your 'MacKinnon clearances' fills me with hope
that I will live to see your whole history of the Clearances
published in parts or as a whole. It will supersede everything
written on the Clearances at all times and places."
Andrew Simmons, Editorial Manager, Birlinn publishers: "It is an
extraordinarily impressive work."
Emma Brennan, Manchester University Press: [There is a] "clear
authorial voice through which a real enthusiasm for the subject is
very effectively communicated".
Dr Lester Crook, I. B. Tauris publishers: "I appreciate that so
many years of detailed and meticulous research and huge reading
have gone into this project, also deep consideration of history and
much reflection."
David Paterson, Photographer, author of "Glens of Silence" (with
David Craig, Birlinn, Edinburgh): "May I first congratulate you on
your extraordinarily scholarly, open-minded and thorough approach
to The Clearances."
