Bob Chambers


Genre


Dr. Bob Chambers is a historian who has become the recognised authority on Hebridean land resettlement – government backed schemes since the late nineteenth century to create new crofts and townships and to enlarge existing ones as a response to the notorious Highland Clearances. He was the first History Ph.D. graduate of the Centre for History at the University of the Highlands and Islands. Bob is the author of many detailed books on land settlement in the islands and has researched and written extensively on land issues in the Hebrides. He is a regular visitor to Lewis and knows the Pairc area well, taking a close interest in the seminal Pairc Trust community buyout story as its intriguing twists and turns unfolded.
