Half of Scotland is owned by just 608 landowners. It is the only country in
the world that still has a feudal system of land tenure. Robin Callender’s How

election next year of the first Scottish Parliament for 300 years will, he
hopes, be the catalyst. Published by Canongate, £9.99, ISBN 0862417724.
