Land Reform in Scotland

Land reform has of late loomed large, politically and legislatively, in Scotland. Academic analysis of the origins, nature and impact of reform has, in contrast, been sparse. This book’s authors, not least because of the widely varied perspectives they offer, have gone a long way to making good that deficiency. * James Hunter, Emeritus Professor of History at the University of the Highlands and Islands. *
This is a most welcome book; in part because of its contents which are as wideranging as they are illuminating; but in part, too, because the sheer breadth and scope of its contributions signals increased academic involvement with a policy area which, for far too long, attracted little such engagement... Everything here is of value. -- James Hunter, University of the Highlands and Islands * Journal of Scottish Historical Studies *
This compilation is an excellent primer for those new to the subject but also offers interesting perspectives to consider for those more experienced in it. -- Mitchell Skilling, University of Aberdeen * Juridical Review *
Essential reading for anyone taking part in the ground-breaking shift in the land reform debate. This is a timely and important contribution from leading academics and lawyers analysing land reform, an issue which runs through the heart of Scottish politics. * Sir Crispin Agnew, Queen’s Counsel, Westwater Advocates *
Any successful action on land reform will require a multidisciplinary response, and in this regard, this volume provides a strong foundation for future progress. -- Jill Robbie, University of Glasgow * The Edinburgh Law Review *
