I am relishing the prospect of beginning a brand new series on the greatest landowners in Scotland.
I propose to start with His Grace the Duke of Fife, who owned almost 136,000 acres of land in Aberdeenshire; apart from many thousands of acres in several other counties.
Her Majesty Queen Victoria was well down the list in Aberdeenshire, with about 25,000 acres.
I expect to commence in early November.

An erudite article on the Highland clearances would be most educational
"The Thane of Fife had a wife. Where is she now?"
