"Lochaber No More" is an 1883 oil painting by Scottish artist John Watson Nicol (1856–1926), which poignantly captures the theme of the Highland Clearances and the resulting emigration of Scots to the New World. The painting, measuring 102 by 127 centimeters, is held in the collection of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, Scotland.

The artwork depicts a sorrowful scene of departure, as a group of Highlanders are seen leaving their ancestral lands, likely bound for North America or Australia. The central figure is an elderly man, possibly a patriarch, who is seated and appears grief-stricken, his head bowed in despair. He is surrounded by his family and a few meager possessions, suggesting the forced nature of their migration and the loss of their home and way of life.

Nicol's use of muted colors and the overcast sky in the painting evoke a sense of melancholy and loss, reflecting the emotional and cultural impact of the Clearances on the Scottish Highland communities. The painting's title, "Lochaber No More," references a traditional Scottish lament that speaks to the pain of leaving one's homeland, further underscoring the theme of exile.

"Lochaber No More" is considered an important work in Scottish art history, as it not only represents the technical skill of John Watson Nicol but also serves as a visual document of a significant and traumatic period in Scotland's past. The painting has been featured in various exhibitions and continues to resonate with audiences as a powerful symbol of displacement and the enduring connections to homeland.
