Inside Scotland’s inspiring struggle to give everyone a stake in the ground
beneath their feet and the lessons for confronting inequality everywhere
Let’s begin with a story about a man called Lord Rossmore. Rossmore was an Anglo-Irish aristocrat and MP who, in 1820, inherited an estate on the Isle of Arran off Scotland’s west coast through the dowry of his wife, the illegitimate daughter of the eighth Duke of Hamilton. One day, the new patriarch invited the village of Catacol, on his estate, to a party at his residence down in High Dougarie. Rossmore’s benevolence was soon thrown into doubt, however, when his servants barred anyone from leaving the residence early. When the villagers were eventually released, they returned home to find their cottages and runrig farmland had been set on fire and razed to the ground by Rossmore’s agents.

SCOTTISH ministers were alarmed at the prospect of their public and private lives being exposed by the advent of Freedom of Information, official records reveal. Scottish Government cabinet papers from 2005, the year FoI began north of the border, show ministers raised multiple “concerns” about the impact on them, their families and their staff. The discussion, led by then First Minister Jack McConnell, took place just days after FoI claimed the first MSP s resignation. Ministers arranged to discuss their fears with officials running the Government’s FoI unit, and demanded to be warned about “particularly difficult requests”. They were also told who was making the requests.
