マーサ&メイベリー　Martha&Mayberry

ヘルヴァボス9話観ました！マーサとメイベリー久々の登場でしたね。まさか二人が付き合ってるとは思いませんでした😂ブリッツとストラスの関係がどんどん離れていくのが本当に辛いです‥‥。少なくともブリッツがヴェロシカに謝罪して仲直り？したのが、唯一の救いです。ブリッツも自分を変えようと必死で、その努力が報われて欲しいです。10話は3ヶ月後なのでとても待ち遠しいです！

I watched episode 9 of Helvabos! It's been a long time since Martha and Mayberry appeared. I didn't think that the two of them were dating 😂 It's really sad that the relationship between Blitz and Strath is getting further and further apart.... At least Blitz apologized to Veloshka and made up? What they did is the only salvation. Blitz is also desperately trying to change himself, and I want his efforts to be rewarded. Episode 10 is in 3 months, so I can't wait!

Farewell to the mountains, high-cover'd with snow, Farewell to the straths and green valleys below; Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods, Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.

My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here,

My heart’s in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;

Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,

My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go.

Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,

The birth-place of Valour, the country of Worth ;

Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,

The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.

Farewell to the mountains, high-cover’d with snow,

Farewell to the straths and green vallies below;

Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods,

Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.

My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here,

My heart’s in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;

Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,

My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go.

— Robert Burns, 1789

13th June 1814 saw the Strathnaver Clearances begin on the Sutherland estates. Families were given half an hour to remove their belongings before their cottages were set on fire.

Strathnaver was part of the estate of the Countess of Sutherland and her husband the Marquis of Stafford. They had decided to "improve" their lands by turning them over to profitable sheep farming and were intent on moving their tenants to new villages built on the coast.

The evictions were undertaken by the Sutherland Estate factor, Patrick Sellar. He was ruthless in his actions, destroying homes and burning crops to force people from their land. His actions were so extreme that in April 1816 Sellar stood trial in Inverness on a variety of charges including fire raising and culpable homicide. However, he was acquitted and returned to Strathnaver where he had leased a large area of the land to farm sheep.

There are the remains of many abandoned townships throughout the Strath, the best known of these being Rosal. This is mainly thanks to Donald Macleod, a native of that township, who witnessed the clearances and wrote passionately about them. Donald was about twenty years of age when Rossall was cleared. At 11 o'clock that night he climbed a hill and counted:

"250 blazing houses. Many of the owners were my relatives and all of whom I personally knew; but whose present condition, whether in or out of the flames, I could not tell. The fire lasted six days, till the whole of the dwellings were reduced to ashes or smoking ruins. During one of those days a boat lost her way in the dense smoke as she approached the shore; but at night she was enabled to reach a landing place by the light of the flames."

He is remembered in a memorial close to the site of the settlement, you can find out more on Srathaven museum web page https://www.strathnavermuseum.org.uk/
