BBC - Who Owns Scotland (2021) 1080p HDTV x265 AAC MVGroup

Martin Geissler travels to towns and cities across Scotland to discover where responsibility lies when it comes to owning urban land.

Ch1: Urban Scotland
When we debate land ownership in Scotland, we tend to think of rural areas – highland estates, grouse moors and community-owned islands. However, this first episode sees Martin Geissler investigate Scotland's urban land. From city centre landmarks and public parks to derelict buildings and dying town centres, Martin shows how land matters to all of us and asks whether the way we think about and care for our urban land needs to change.

Ch2: Rural Scotland
Martin investigates our rural land – who owns it, what they are doing with it and what the future might hold for it.
Because of the way land ownership has historically been recorded in Scotland, it can be even harder to find out who owns our rural land than it is to find out who owns the land in our town and cities. With the help of researcher and writer Andy Wightman and the visualisation skills of design collective Lateral North, Martin explores what we do and don’t know about land ownership in rural Scotland and finds out why it matters.
