Neil Irving, on May 23, said:
Thousands of Scots were forced out of their homes to make way for sheep during the Highland Clearances. Entitled The Emigrants, the statue, created by sculptor Gerald Laing, commemorates the achievement of the thousands of Scots who left the Highlands during the clearances of the 19th century.
