Title: Link: Highlands and Islands Emigration Society 1852-1857

There's a searchable database of migrants leaving the Scottish Highlands between 1852 and 1857 on this webpage:

There's also help with sources from the National Archives of Scotland's Highland Destitution series (HD) to help find out more about the Highlands and Islands Emigration Society who assisted individuals to leave western Scotland
