FT BIG READ. SCOTLAND

The ruling Scottish National party wants land reform to revive local rural communities hit by
depopulation, but critics say the plan smacks of class war and a further advance of an over-mighty state.
By Mure Dickie

S
tanding proud and elegantly
turreted among the rolling
hills of southwest Scotland,
Drumlanrig Castle is a mag-
nificent symbol of enduring
landed power and wealth. Built in the
17th century by the first Duke of
Queensberry, it remains 11 generations
later one of Scotland’s finest country
houses and a glistening sandstone jewel
in the crown of Buccleuch Estates, the
UK’s largest private landowner.
Yet even Drumlanrig’s thick walls
cannot ward off the winds of modern
politics. Fired up by a failed independ-
ence campaign in which promises of
social justice was a dominant theme,
The country’s governing Scottish
National party has promised a pro-
gramme of radical land reform. Richard
Scott, 10th Duke of Buccleuch and 12th
Duke of Queensberry, says the prospect
fills him with “absolute dismay”.
The duke is not the only one worried.
Lobby group Scottish Land and Estates
has expressed “extreme concern” at the
SNP call for ministers to have the as-yet
undefined powers to intervene if the
scale of land ownership and conduct of a
landowner is judged to be a barrier to
sustainable development. The Conserv-
ative party has denounced the idea as
“simply unacceptable”. One local news
website in western Argyll has even
declared that Scotland’s landowners
face “a form of planned genocide”.
Such language is highly exaggerated
— the SNP proposals are for new legal
frameworks rather than land seizures or
violence — but it highlights the passions
that can be raised by talk of land reform.
