This is a critical study of Scotland's land use and ownership.
Scotland is at the heart of modern sustainable upland management.
Large estates cover vast areas of mountain environment in Scotland,
with a deeply historical and unique tradition of land ownership and
land use. Over the modern period, the use of these lands by
stakeholders has developed into a forcing ground for large scale
upland management issues. This collection of cutting edge studies
is a first-to-press synthesis of studies carried out by the Centre
for Mountain Studies at Perth College, which will be both
enlightening and relevant to upland managers across Britain and
Europe. It will compare findings from privately-owned estates as
well as those owned by communities, charities and conservation
groups. With the Scottish Government promoting a vision of
environmental sustainability of land use and rural communities, and
all eyes on the reform of land use and ownership in Scotland, this
book will be extremely topical. It presents major new thinking on
upland estate management. It is the first dedicated textbook on
upland estate management. It features a respected and experienced
academic editorial team. It is an academic synthesis of theory and
practical case-studies.
