Why don't you have a go at this task! If you have a Gaelic-speaking friend, you could do this together. If you don't—no problem—you can have double the fun!
We've given you these question as a starting point, but you'll certainly have other questions and opinions about Na Fuadaichean (The Clearances). 😊
Am bi a' mhòr-chuid de dhaoine a nì eilthireachd ga dèanamh an aghaidh an toil fhèin seach air adhbharan eaconamach?
Do the majority of people who emigrate do so against their own will rather than for economic reasons?
A bheil mòran diofar ann eadar Albannaich a chaidh a dh'fhuireach anns an ‘t-saoghal ùr' agus daoine à Afraga agus às an Ear Mheadhanach a thig a dh'fhuireach ann am Breatann san latha an-diugh?
Is there much difference between Scots who went to live in the ‘New World' and people from Africa and the Middle East who come to live in Britain today?
Am bu chòir àite is urram a bharrachd a bhith aig na daoine a bha a' fuireach ann an Canada, Astràilia, Aimeireaga, is eile, mus tàinig tuinichean às an Roinn Eòrpa?
Should the people who lived in Canada, Australia, America and other countries before settlers came from Europe should have a better place and more respect?
An robh roghainn aig na Gàidheil ach falbh a-null thairis ri linn nam Fuadaichean agus beatha a dhèanamh dhaibh fhèin anns na dùthchannan ùra?
Did the Gàidheil have any other choice but to go abroad during The Clearances and make a life for themselves in the new countries?
Remember that the emigration story continued into the twentieth century and more information can be found at Gàidhlig ann an Alba.
