Examines population and social structure, land and agriculture, concluding that the last real frontier of traditional life on the British mainland was being increasingly penetrated by Scottish Lowland and English capitalism. This led ultimately to demographic/subsistence crises and momentous calamities for Highland society and culture in ensuing centuries.
