Discover Scottish Land Records - 1st Edition

This guide from family historian Chris Paton takes a look at the complicated records concerning land and property based research in Scotland. For centuries property transactions within the country were governed by feudal tenure, a system which was abandoned in England and Wales in the Middle Ages but which continued in Scotland until 2004. But feudalism was not the only method by which land was held, with udalism, dùthchas, leasehold and more competing as forms of tenure across the country at different times.
