history |
The Scottish Land and Property Federation was founded in 1906 to promote the interests of landowners in Scotland. One of its permanent committees was the Scottish Mineral Owners' Committee. In 1950 the Federation changed its name to the Scottish Landowners' Federation and again in 1998 to the Scottish Rural Property and Business Association. The current name, Scottish Land and Estates, was adopted in 2011. |
