Who owns Scotland.

[robinv]

Almost the same place as you, in the Crown Estate Scotland Report 2011:

The rural estate in Scotland includes 37,000 hectares (91,400 acres) of agricultural land, 5,000 hectares (12,300 acres) of forestry, residential and commercial
property and salmon fishing rights.

Although your quote implies that the forestry, residential and commercial property is included within the 37,000 hectares rather than additional to it.

I think I got my acres and hectares mixed up here

It is my understanding that if many people buy a sq foot of bog-land then a developer cannot come in and build say a golf course etc. Conservation could mean just leaving the land to nature.

2.471 acres to 1 hectare.

2.471 acres to 1 hectare.

Nice! Precise!

... About two and a half then, roughly? (I must have gone to a terrible school).

Mind you, I suppose it would matter greatly if they were plonking the fence on my side of the actual boundary as a result of the miscalculation.

Ah yes, boundary disputes! The legal profession just love them!

Yes indeed, we in the trade do work on 2.5 acres to the hectare, although I still work in acres.
