Join writer Joni Buchanan, as she explores the history behind the four landmark monuments commemorating key land struggle events in Lewis. These events shook the establishment to its very core and resulted in new legislation that ultimately led directly to the recent land reforms.
Amongst those who Joni met, Donald John 'Finn' Morrison in Uig, whose grandfather was one of the raiders; and historian, Dr Jim Hunter, who has written extensively on the history of the Clearances and Land Struggles from the perspective of the Highland people.
