"Three miles to the north of Lairg is a monument to remember an early attempt to tame the Highlands. During the 1870s, the Duke of Sutherland ploughed up about 2,000 acres (8 km²), but the industry never rewarded that. Today the area around the loch is one of the major farming centres for sheep in Scotland."

Another example of trying to justify the Highland Clearances, which this man's family was notorious for.-MacRùsgail (talk) 14:58, 15 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Also – ". . . the industry never rewarded that." Out of the context of the work from which this sentence presumably derives, the meaning of this is obscure. Does "the industry" refer to the work of ploughing or to the Agricultural industry? Should "that" be followed by "effort" (or similar)? Is the intended meaning something like "this industry (i.e. activity) was never rewarded?" {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 212.95.237.92 (talk) 10:02, 23 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
