It is a sad fact that fewer than 500 people own 57% of the private land in Scotland.
The Scottish Government are consulting on a proposed Land Reform Bill. This is open until 25th September, so we take a look at the proposals up for consultation.
With the help of two case studies - Flamingo Land's revised bid to take over Balloch and the Loch Lomond waterfront and the possibility of an islanders hostile buy out from the absentee landlord on Great Bernera - we look at some of the issues that this consultation brings to light - and many that it doesn't even begin to cover.
We have contributions from Lesley Riddoch and Robin McAlpine via Commonweal's expert panel discussion plus excerpts from members debates in Holyrood.
