Emigrants Monument

Emigrants Monument is a moving memorial to the Scots displaced during the Highland Clearances. This impressive bronze sculpture, unveiled in 2007, depicts a family of four - a father leading his son, a mother with her infant gazing longingly at their abandoned homeland.

The monument is a moving testament to the courage and determination of the Scots who were forced to leave their homes. Standing on a hill overlooking Helmsdale harbor, it offers not only a history lesson, but also breathtaking views of the surrounding area.

For a more complete understanding of history, it is worth combining a visit with a visit to the nearby village of Badbea, which showcases the living conditions of the displaced Highlanders.
