The Act

Part 7 – General and Interpretation

Interpretation

Section 60 – Meaning of “major interest” in land

149.Section 60 defines “major interest”, which has particular relevance to the notification rules in section 30. Major interest means ownership of land or a tenant’s right. Less common interests in land such as real burdens, servitudes and options are not major interests. Now that the feudal system of land tenure has been abolished pursuant to the Abolition of Feudal Tenure (Scotland) Act 2000 (asp 5), the interest of a feudal superior is no longer an interest in land recognised in the law of Scotland.
