The Act of Uniformity, the Test Acts and Penal Laws of England, (with jurisdiction into Ireland, Scotland and British colonies of Africa, India, and Americas), enforced by execution and torture, fine and prison, confiscation and transport to the plantations (American colonies, if you weren’t already here) were, according to Edmund Burke “a machine of wise and elaborate contrivance, as well fitted for the oppression, impoverishment and degradation of a people, and the debasement in them of human nature itself, as ever proceeded from the perverted ingenuity of man.” Savage, John (1869). Fenian Heroes and Martyrs. Patrick Donahoe. pp. 16.

1709 Samuel Johnson (born 18 September 1709 [Old Style julian calendar. 7 September] – died 13 December 1784 New Style Gregorian calendar), often referred to as Dr Johnson. He is also the subject of “the most famous single work of biographical art in the whole of literature”: James Boswell’s Life of Samuel Johnson. In 1763, Johnson befriended James Boswell, with whom Johnson later travelled to Scotland; Johnson described their travels in A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. On 6 August 1773, eleven years after first meeting Boswell, Johnson set out to visit his friend in Scotland, to begin “a journey to the western islands of Scotland”, as Johnson’s 1775 account of their travels would put it.[134] The work was intended to discuss the social problems and struggles that affected the Scottish people, but it also praised many of the unique facets of Scottish society, such as a school in Edinburgh for the deaf and mute.[135]

The Hebrides on the Atlantic Ocean. Johnson used the work in A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland to enter into the dispute over the authenticity of James Macpherson’s Ossian poems, claiming they could not have been translations of ancient Scottish literature on the grounds that “in those times nothing had been written in the Earse [i.e. Gaelic] language”. Boswell’s account, The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides (1786), was a preliminary attempt at a biography before his Life of Johnson. Included were various quotes and descriptions of events, including anecdotes such as Johnson swinging around a broadsword while wearing Scottish garb, or dancing a Highland jig.

1779 John Armstrong M.D. died. ‘Dr. A. You never answered that letter, Sir. Mr. W[ilkes] What answer could I give, Doctor? You had put a period to the intercourse between us. I still continued to our common friends to speak of you in terms of respect, while you were grossly abusing me. You said to Boswell, Millar and others, ‘I hope there is a hell, that Wilkes may lie in it.’ Anderson v, 1/p.156.

1855 Harvest Operations. By John O’Groat journal There is some clamour about the potato blight but … the fear is greater than the hurt.   Potato famine began in 1846. Hundreds starve, thousands emigrate. The Highland Potato Famine refers to a period of 19th century Highland and Scottish history (1846 to roughly 1856) over which the agricultural communities of the Hebrides and the western Scottish Highlands saw their potato crop (upon which they had become over-reliant) repeatedly devastated by potato blight. It was part of the wider food crisis facing Northern Europe caused by potato blight during the mid-1840s, whose most famous manifestation is the Great Irish Famine. Wikipedia.
