It would be interesting to know why?You may be aware that neither the agent nor the stalker are now employed on the estate…
"Veiled Speech" but I'm getting the gist of what you're sayingIndeed; let’s put it down to, er, potential/alleged excess of ‘entrepreneurial spirit’ in either case, shall we?

What do you mean by "Scottish People"? I know several Scottish people who are landowners and who would vigorously dispute your point and with solid justification. Do you feel the land should be in the hands of impecunious collectives of crofters and well meaning people from the cities? Is it your view that this would be better for the land?Sad really so much money in grants to a foreign billionaire to drive off local large landowning millionaires lol. So who owns scotland certainly not Scottish people.

The point would be, that the SNP would have their illiterate and ignorant voters believe they were ridding Scotland of foreign (read English) land owners. All they've done is get rid of the perceived hallmarks of such ownership, the sporting aspects, which will equally appeal to their supporters, bearing in mind the predominance of left wing (ignorant bigot) thinking.What do you mean by "Scottish People"?

What would Scotland have become without English and other investment? We should be grateful it was cared for and looked after by people of whatever origin. People who were prepared to spend their money (for little enough return) to preserve the land. The argument is same everywhere. We have enthusiastic clowns across the UK -who have neither a bean to spend on improving the country (as we do from our taxed incomes), nor the grass roots knowledge to understand what the land needs, telling us how to run it. The debate (read hysteria) around Muirburn being a classic example. Most of these "experts" wouldn't know bracken from heather if it was sticking out of their trousers. It is rare enough to see them with mud on their boots. Re-wilding is a fallacy driven by greed. Mark my words...it is only money at the bottom of it. Where money is, there is no love of the land. It is just a factory floor.
