Land law is now under the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament. With the abolition of feudal tenure under the Land Tenure Reform (Scotland) Act 2000, this is once again a topical area. Reference is made to reforms and also to recommendations from the Scottish Law Commission, and areas such as management and use of common property, statutory protection, boundaries and liferents are covered.
