Highland Clearance - edit

[Magpie]

Nice edit. The second stanza works so much better now, I particularly like the specific detail of Hispanic workers which adds something extra to the poem. Also the last line works better now, it must have been the fact that it didn't rhyme that bothered me and not the sentiment which I now think works well.

Cheers,

Mark

Don't have any allegiances as regards Highland Clearances, but I do have an aversion to bagpipes hence my pistol quote which was a take on a Stephen Hawking quote, "When I hear about Schrodinger's cat I reach for my pistol".  I don't mind hearing bagpipes when I'm in the hills, it's just when they're on the high street surrounded by tourists... then I reach for my pistol. Alas no pistols allowed these days, however it is true that you can carry a knife down your sock for the sake of tradition.
