Dr. Johnson, in his Journey to the Hebrides, thus beautifully describes the people of Auchnasheal Scotland The M'Craas or Macraes people 1715 A.D
"We soon afterwards came to Auchnasheal, a kind of rural village, a number of cottages being built together, as we saw all along in the High lands. We passed many miles this day without seeing a house, but only little summer-huts, called shielings."--------------The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, with Samuel Johnson p 131
"We had a considerable circle about us, men, women, and children, all M'Craas, Lord Seaforth's people. Not one of them could speak English. I observed to Dr. Johnson, it was much the same as being with a tribe of Indians. Johnson-." --------------The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, with Samuel Johnson p 131
"There was great diversity in the faces of the circle around us : some were as black and wild in their appearance as any American savages . "----------The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, with Samuel Johnson p 132
An account of the Isle of Sky Dr. Johnson
"Our boatmen were rude singers, and seemed so like wild Indians, that a very little imagination was necessary to give one an impression of being upon an American river.-------The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, with Samuel Johnson p 261
Description of Mr Malcolm Macleod and the Macleods
Mr. Malcolm Macleod, one of the Rasay family, celebrated in the year 1745-6. He was now sixty-two years of age, hale, and well-proportioned, with a manly countenance, and tanned by the weather, yet having a ruddiness in his cheeks, over a great part of which his rough beard extended. His eye was quick and lively, yet his look was not fierce, but he appeared at once firm and good- humored --------The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, with Samuel Johnson p 152
We got into Rasay's carriage, which was a good strong open boat made in Norway. The wind had now risen pretty high, and was against us; but we had four stout rowers, particularly a Macleod, a robust black-haired fellow, half naked, and bare headed, something between a wild Indian and an English tar. ----The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, with Samuel Johnson p 152
What happen to these people?

I have found out that these people were ENSLAVED and sent to different parts of the world in the 1700s
The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, with Samuel Johnson
IN THIS BOOK IN THE FOOT NOTES IT SAYS THE FOLLOWING REGARDING THE ENSLAVEMENT OF THESE PEOPLE
Note: The M'Craas, or Macraes, were since that time brought into the king's army, by the late Lord Seaforth. When they lay in Edinburgh castle in 1778, and were ordered to embark for Jersey, they with a number of other men in the regiment, for different reasons, but especially an apprehension that they were to be sold to the East- India Company, though enlisted not to be sent out of Great- Britain without their own consent, made a determined mutiny, and encamped upon the lofty mountain, Arthur's seat, where they remained three days and three nights ; bidding defiance to all the force in Scotland.
THEY WERE SOLD TO THE EAST INDIAN SLAVERY SHIPPING COMPANY IN THE 1700'S
ALSO THEY WERE SOLD TO VIRGINIA AND THE WEST INDIES by Cromwell
White People Indians and Highlanders tribal peoples and colonial encounters in Scotland and America by COLIN G. CALLOWAY
The Macleods of Dunvegan suffered huge casualties when Oliver Cromwell defeated the Scots at Worcester, and Cromwell transported hundreds of Scots prisoners as indentured servants to Virginia and the West Indies. Cromwell invaded Scotland in 1650 and 1651 and built a fort at Inverness to preserve the peace of the country, and keep the highlands in awe, which they effectually did all his time, wrote Daniel Defoe, who toured the region in the 1720s---------White People Indians and Highlanders P 26
so hundreds of these people were sold into slavery

Doxie why don't you give up? Sometimes I think Doxie is an sock puppet created by Mike to make the threads more interesting.
