Designed to inform on the significance of community land ownership in Scotland today this bi-lingual (mostly English with some Gaelic) performance seeks to tell the sometimes controversial story of community land buy out in the North of Scotland from the people's perspective exploring issues of rurality, sense of belonging, tradition and community empowerment relating to ownership of land as perceived today. |
