Seriously, I've never really thought about the Highland Clearances as being connected in any way to the act of proscription.
Money was the driving factor as sheep made more money than tenant farmers and their inefficient run-rig system.
Look at the steam jenny, and other industrial breakthroughs of the time. Factories were seen as the wave of the future, and despite sometimes dreadful conditions, workers were often better off there than living in poverty on their farms.
