The way I read the last paragraph, the term “LEASED” is the most important term here. Not sure about Scottish law, but in the U.S. that term means that the “lessor” can change the terms and renegotiate. Nowhere do I see that anyone had “given” the land to the Government permanently (although 1000 years is a long time). Maybe I’m missing something here especially since I’m not familiar with the laws there. I am curious about it so if someone can elaborate on those legal terms, I would be very interested.
