Background
History
Historical records date Inverlael to at least the 13th Century. Until the establishment of Ullapool in 1788 Inverlael was described as ‘the largest settlement north of Dingwall‘. Sir George Mackenzie, 7th Baronet was the landowner responsible for the clearance of the township during the winter of 1819-20, as part of the Highland Clearances. The clearances evicted families from land to make way for large-scale sheep production or other agricultural uses.
