I read this comment via Andy posting the link ...Hi<br /><br />I read this comment via Andy posting the link on Facebook. I run and co-founded the Scottish Family Business Association, and many of Scotland's land-owners fit the "family business" model. Land division, succession planning, etc is one of the huge emotional issues for such families - a sense of place, belonging to the soil, etc. Primogeniture is another contentious issue.<br />But Andy's is right, as usual. There is a great long-term benefit in making land-owning families...as indeed other family businesses, pass the ownership on equally to all of the next generation (or to the community, social enterprises, develop trusts etc) maybe with a trust managing the operations, because over the generations the ownership of land in Scotland, whilst still in the hands of a small minority would at least multiply, and through marriage spread way beyond the very small number of land-owning families we have today. Keep up the good work.<br />Martin Stepekmartin stepekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14015411226876133199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614181022647296825.post-43152491902052297122011-03-23T00:33:24.680+00:002011-03-23T00:33:24.680+00:00Complete freedom to express ones own opinions is t...Complete freedom to express ones own opinions is the right of angels and now the self-employed!!<br />I always knew you were an angel, just don't burn your wings by flying too close to the sun.<br />-A rather philosophical comment following an evening with Fresh Start (the new entrants to farming training group that I've just joined) and two beers - yes ONLY 2 beers!<br /><br />Moving from philosophy to psychology; the nugget of my evening was a concept called P.A.C.
