Whilst you both are generally right about the past,although I would argue that the employment of the rural population of Scotland would have been even more dire without the "big estates". It would be a great mistake to ignore, underestimate, or scorn the outside money, past and present, spent on sporting activities(love or hate them) that have and still do help many estates provide much needed income and employment for the local population.
