Transport links are poor: the [[A9 road (Great Britain)|A9 road]] main east coast road is challenging north of [[Helmsdale]], particularly at the notorious [[Berriedale Braes]], there are few inland roads, the east coast [[Far North Line]] north-south single-track railway line and no airports. Much of the former county is poor relative to the rest of [[Scotland]] with few job opportunities beyond government funded employment. Further education is provided by North Highland College, part of the University of the Highland and Islands. The Ross House Campus in Dornoch was the first establishment in the UK to provide a degree in Golf Management. The Burghfield House Campus, also in Dornoch, is an hotel school.
Sutherland is perhaps best known for its saddest memory: The [[Highland Clearances]]: The forceful eviction of people from their homes in the 18th century by the landowners to make way for large sheep farms. Sutherland suffered more than most parts of the Highlands, scattering people far and wide across the globe.<ref>The Highland Clearances, by John Prebble</ref> The clearances also saw many forced to move from their inland homes to live along the coast scraping a life as fisherfolk. It was the villages produced by this policy that formed the last [[Scottish Gaelic|Gaelic]] speaking communities to be found on the east coast of [[Scotland]], as discovered by [[Nancy Dorian]] in the early 1960s, and there are still some native speakers of the East Sutherland dialect of [[Scottish Gaelic|Gaelic]] in this area.<ref>[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7647046783946085652 Mar a Chuannic Mise: Nancy Dorian agus a Ghàidhlig<!-- Заголовок добавлен ботом -->]</ref>
Owing to its isolation from the rest of the country, Sutherland was reputedly the last haunt of the native [[wolf]], the last survivor being shot in the 18th century. However, other wild life has survived, including the [[golden eagle]], [[sea eagle]] and [[pine marten]] amongst other species which are very rare in the rest of the country. There are pockets of the native [[Scots Pine]], remnants of the original [[Caledonian Forest]].
