The structure of forest ownership in Scotland: a first approximation
Abstract An attempt is made to outline the structure of forest ownership in Scotland, insofar as the available sources of information permit. Particular attention is focused on the private sector, where most recent afforestation has been concentrated and to which some forests have been transferred from the Forestry Commission in recent years. More than half of the private-sector area is now owned by personal or corporate “investment’ owners: as recently as 20 years ago the sector was almost completely dominated by the traditional landed estates. Deficiencies in sources of information are reviewed, and the importance of information on ownership, in relation to matters such as future wood production and management regimes, is discussed.
