So, yeah, this might be a boring comment but I really, really wish people would stick to commenting on the stupid & hateful things people do/say rather than insulting their looks. Are we all in grade school or something? It’s very childish.

Scotland’s land ownership is some of the most unequal anywhere in Europe, with around 400 people owning half our land.

This won't improve as long as the large landowners are allowed to keep buying up even more of our country.
