Migration
The unfolding story of the Highland Clearances is brought to us by a couple of talking sheep in a sketch called Sheep! The song Moving On tries to capture the anguish of those that through little fault of their own were forced to leave their homes to find work. In the sketch An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman the complexity of the Scottish migration story is examined. Finally in Memories of a Highlander we use archive and documented detail to show the adjustments that migrants to the big cities had to make.
