 * Comment 3 or 4 seem best; you might try "...was one of the first landlords to evict tenants in order to create sheep farms". Johnbod (talk) 15:35, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Johnbod. That seems like a good idea, but it omits the Highland context. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:51, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Interesting article (I've been to Armadale). New enough, long enough and well-written. Sourcing is impeccable and the hook fact is cited and reliably sourced. No problems with neutrality. As for hooks, I think ALT4 is the best (and I agree with BHG's comments about leaving it as-is, with the Highland context). I've stricken the rest for clarity's sake.
