The National Archives of
Scotland hold the records of the
Highland and Island Emigration Society set up by private subscription to alleviate destitution in the
Highlands by promoting and assisting the emigration of Highlanders to Australia and active between 1851 and 1859.
Their passenger lists for the years 1852-1857 have survived and are organised by ship and by family and record the name, age and residence of each emigrant.
