This panel discussion as part of Explorathon 2021 is presented by the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) at the University of Edinburgh.
It examines the ownership of Scotland’s landscape, both imaginary and practical. We explore urban imaginaries and rural utopias, regeneration and land ownership, histories and futures of landscape, all asking the question: whose Scotland is it anyway?
