This BBC is pure propaganda. Surprised they did not mention Trumps golf courses. Most of Scotlands land has been in the same family for hundreds of years. Isle of Skye for example. The MacLeods of Skye built their castle over 800 years ago and have lived in it ever since. Fought every since war and battle there has ever been. They own that island and no communist socialist SNP government can take the land from the rightful owners.

The people of Scotland are legally sovereign and so sovereigns legally own the kingdom of Scotland. Which is why there is no English style law of trespass in Scotland and people have legal right to roam. There are, of course conditions to the right to roam. Personal privacy is protected and that means you cannot roam in close proximity to a dwelling and you can trespass on such as railway lines and MOD property but I suspect these have more to do with personal safety and danger. It is a modern law that no private person can clamp or two away a vehicle parked on private land and demand payment for its return from the owner as they can do in the Kingdom of England. It is probably like other legal matters - full of grey areas.

@@sharenerobertson5574 Trump has brought business to Scotland. Whether you like him or hate him, he has brought business. It's not like he's carving out large chunks of land for himself and his family.
The question is who did the people originally buy the land known as Scotland from? As I understand it the land was there long before mankind walked on it. Nobody owns the planet we live on nor the land or seas, we are all just guardians here to look after the place.
Are there any examples of land owners trying to get residents off their land? It sounds like these rules might incentivise that. You cant have a community buy up your land if there is no community.
This has been like this all over Europe for centuries. The Monarchs and Oligarchs owned all the land and used the peasants for slave labor. That's why many Scots and other peoples fled to America where they could have their own farms. In Canada, a dominion of the Monarchy, the Queen owns 89% of the land still today. I think they call it crown land or something of the sort. Anytime they cut timber from the land, they have to pay the Queen.
technically, yes... I think she is the World's largest. It's all technicalities though. The Crown, is ultimate landowner, or Crown Land. The Monarch at the time made a deal with Parliament to hand over revenues in exchange a fixed civil list payment which is now the sovereign grant I think.
Most of the land concerned is unfit for farming or forestry, as an asset it is practically worthless, that’s why people buy it, stock it and bring in guns for income to the estate and its employees. If the SNP nationalist it, it will fail because shooting and fishing need the personal touch which governments are incapable of providing.
that 'personal touch' is responsible for stipping out the flora which wrecks the local fauna and causes flooding down stream. If the land owners cannot be responsible with their management of the land it should be taken from them without recompence.
@@alanb9443 I'm genuinely asking though. Where do property rights - as regard land - come from? At some point in the past, someone put a fence around that land and said "this is mine", and then defended that claim with violence.
Some would argue that one owns land (originally) by creating value from it, by using it. If a farmer tills previously untouched land and grows, say, wheat there, it becomes his by virtue of his being the first to work it. Of course now land is bought and sold, but thats one of the original arguments.
londonclip free Ireland, free Scotland. This is your western democracy. Did you forget? And taiwan, hong kong, tibet, xinjiang, we won't let that split up. Because we are not hypocritical.
Well if Scottish people keep selling it people will buy it. If you don’t like the way it is going pass a law to stop/change foreign ownership. Which they have done . If I had money I would buy land too.
@ It's a cultural difference. what's ours is oues ,not ours we don't want it. sorry mark I apologize for what I said earlier. If you get back to me I will delete this comment.
@ Hong Kong, Tibet, and Taiwan can't make them independent, because every place has a very important strategic significance. If they are independent, they will go to the United States, and the United States will use them to control China. That is to say, people can go, but the land must be left. My English is so bad, Google Translate should probably understand what I mean.
I thought that William Wallace fought a successful revolution against England. It was my understanding that Robert the Bruce then took the Crown and promptly made land deals with England for powerful Scottish clans and power in England. I guess those deals still stand today. Not too much trickle down in Scotland.
Kingdom of Great Britain was a Scottish idea, the Stuarts. Who were descended from Bruce, who himself was descended from the Norman nobility and King David of Scotland.

We will never be an independent unless we leave the EU..independence is freedom we can then to do as we please with our own law's and trading arrangements..we must not be tied by a corrupt society...

Naw mon the UK

For Scottish freedom and democracy!

Who cares right now when the Amazonian rainforest is literally on fire!!!
Me I care, I care that the Amazon is on fire too but this is also a British news YT channel so they show clips on smaller topics inside the UK that won't get shown on our national TV and I find it interesting
But I agree they should have a video on YT about it
Scotland also has many trees so it is important too although I agree the Amazon takes precedent as the most important issue at the moment.
@@ciaranbrk this article wasn't about Scottish trees it was about a class divide over land

Scotland you're free to leave, doesn't bother us down south.
Well going by the abuse us scots get by little englanders its no wonder we want to leave

When we say “private owners” how many of those are farms?
The question is who did the people originally buy the land known as Scotland from? As I understand it the land was there long before mankind walked on it. Nobody owns the planet we live on nor the land or seas, we are all just guardians here to look after the place.

Are there any examples of land owners trying to get residents off their land?
It sounds like these rules might incentivise that. You cant have a community buy up your land if there is no community.
This has been like this all over Europe for centuries. The Monarchs and Oligarchs owned all the land and used the peasants for slave labor. That's why many Scots and other peoples fled to America where they could have their own farms. In Canada, a dominion of the Monarchy, the Queen owns 89% of the land still today. I think they call it crown land or something of the sort. Anytime they cut timber from the land, they have to pay the Queen.
But now…die fighting…not on our knees
They have preserved the landscape
Brussels if sturgeon gets her way
I would expect the Queen would be the largest private land owner
The queen owns the land or why else is she queen
technically, yes... I think she is the World's largest. It's all technicalities though. The Crown, is ultimate landowner, or Crown Land. The Monarch at the time made a deal with Parliament to hand over revenues in exchange a fixed civil list payment which is now the sovereign grant I think.
She certainly owns the coastline around Scotland, so everything can only enter Scotland via her land.

Yes she got England under the thumb , considering she and her family are all connected to german ancestors.😉🏴

free uk from Pakistan and indian your people do not deserve to live here.
Most of the land concerned is unfit for farming or forestry, as an asset it is practically worthless, that’s why people buy it, stock it and bring in guns for income to the estate and its employees. If the SNP nationalist it, it will fail because shooting and fishing need the personal touch which governments are incapable of providing.
that 'personal touch' is responsible for stipping out the flora which wrecks the local fauna and causes flooding down stream.
If the land owners cannot be responsible with their management of the land it should be taken from them without recompence.
Seriously as long it’s not jimmy cranky
Yet you clowns cant say why
What gives anyone the right to privately own land?
What give you a the right to own anything ? Who says people can’t just steal your possessions ? It’s called property rights...
@@alanb9443 I'm genuinely asking though. Where do property rights - as regard land - come from? At some point in the past, someone put a fence around that land and said "this is mine", and then defended that claim with violence.
Yes obviously... land is a key resource especially in the old agrarian economies. Why treat it differently from any other resource anyone can own?
I’m mean “ owning land” is perhaps the most natural thing to own. Lions packs,l for example ‘own’ territory which they defend.
Some would argue that one owns land (originally) by creating value from it, by using it. If a farmer tills previously untouched land and grows, say, wheat there, it becomes his by virtue of his being the first to work it. Of course now land is bought and sold, but thats one of the original arguments.

@ Hong Kong, Tibet, and Taiwan can't make them independent, because every place has a very important strategic significance. If they are independent, they will go to the United States, and the United States will use them to control China. That is to say, people can go, but the land must be left.

I thought that William Wallace fought a successful revolution against England. It was my understanding that Robert the Bruce then took the Crown and promptly made land deals with England for powerful Scottish clans and power in England. I guess those deals still stand today. Not too much trickle down in Scotland.
Kingdom of Great Britain was a Scottish idea, the Stuarts. Who were descended from Bruce, who himself was descended from the Norman nobility and King David of Scotland.
