The Scottish Highland Clearances - still happening

I was brought up in an area of the Highlands of Scotland where everything was mostly owned by own family - The Lovats.
Lord Lovat was the head of Clan Fraser and also a WW11 hero and was much loved and respected by all.

In olden times, Scotland had it's clan system. A clan with it's clan head/ chieftain was a huge family all carrying the same name and living in the same area. Some clans were rich and powerful and others were not. The Lovats owned almost all of Inverness-shire and,  where we lived, everyone was called Fraser. They would be known as - Fraser - the post, Fraser - the butcher, Fraser - the undertaker etc.

Near our house lived Fraser - the farmer - two brothers Rod and Simon and their sister Mhairi. They were a God fearing family who followed the most strict of all the Presbyterian faiths. Every Sabbath they would drive very slowly to  church in an ancient huge black car, wearing their best clothes. Their fields were those that surrounded our house and as a child I grew up watching the rotation of various crops and animal stock - always in perfect condition. The farm - like everything else - was owned by the Lovats, but Rod and Simon's family had leased it from them for many generations.
But now
Lord Lovat has died. His son lost the family fortune through gamboling and mismanagement and most of the vast estate has been sold. The remainder is in the hands of a factor whose remit appears to be to maximise profit.
and
Rod and Simon have died.
Simon's son Bryan  had taken over  running the farm for them and had expected to carry on doing so after they died.
NO
The factor has seen that there is more money to be made by clearing Bryan off the land his family has farmed for generations, converting the beautiful old farm steading into houses and renting out the fields to a  neighbouring farmer.

Bryan will leave with nothing. He is grieving his father's loss and at the same time wondering how he is going to survive.

This is happening in many rural areas. Accountants advise on the economics of scale. The larger the farm the more economical it is to run. Farmer's houses and farm steadings are being converted and sold or rented out  as holiday homes or to people from the nearest town. Somewhere there is one very busy farmer managing huge acres of land dotted all over the place. It is the farming equivalent of globalisation.

There is a similarity to The Highland Clearances in the past, where crofters were cleared from their crofts, to make place for sheep and the sheep farmer  -because it made more profit for the land owner.

It is a scandal
AND
knowing Lord Lovat (which I did) I think he would be very upset.
He would never have done this. He looked after his people.
