In 1908 ten landless Hebridean men were imprisoned in Edinburgh for building huts and growing crops on Vatersay without permission. This account describes how absentee landlordism in the Highlands and Islands created the poverty that shaped the men’s actions, follows the protest movement the case aroused, and records its ultimate victory in the government purchase of the island and the establishment there of a crofting community.
