Less than a year to go the referendum on Scottish independence.
432 individuals accounting for half of all non-public land, according to the Independent
0.025% of Scotland's population owns 67% of Scotland's private rural land, that half of the entire country is held by just 608 owners, that fewer than 20 people own 10% of Scotland, according to the Scottish Review which was quoting from St Andrews University academic Charles Warren in his book, Managing Scotland’s Environment.
Warren's book details of Scotland’s private land show 30 per cent is held by 103 owners, each with 9,000 hectares [22,250 acres] or more, and 50 per cent by 343 owners. A minuscule 0.025 per cent of the population owns 67 per cent of the privately owned rural land. Thirty owners have more than 25,000 hectares [61,750 acres] each.
