Abstract: | In Scotland, land reform is, historically and still today, a defining political issue and a subject of debate. Central to
this debate are different ideological understandings of the rural past. In this paper, I discuss the nature of the Scottish
land question and explore several of the main—sometimes complementary, sometimes conflicting—ideologies concerning land, as
put forward or supported by different constituencies: politicians; landowners; crofters; Scots more generally; and members
of the Scottish diaspora. I consider the histories to which these ideologies relate and seek to locate the historical archaeology
of rural Scotland in its political and social contexts. |
