A brief history of landownership in Scotland.
A brief history of landownership in Scotland.
This film looks at some of the key events in the evolution of landownership in Scotland from the earliest times, to today’s land reform agenda.
How was land controlled in Scotland’s early communities? How did the Roman presence and the development of early states like Pictland, Dalriata and Alba affect control of the land? What was the impact of feudalism and what were the effects of the highland clearances?
The film provides a personal perspective on how Scotland’s land should be owned and controlled viewed through the lens of history.
