Rural relationships: The changing dynamics between landlords and tenants, and between communities and rural business by Sarah-Jane Laing
About this Event

This lecture will consider the shifting connections between landlords and tenants, as well as between rural businesses and the communities they serve. From changes in land ownership and tenancy models to the growing influence of environmental and economic pressures, these evolving relationships are reshaping the social and economic fabric of the countryside. The lecture will consider not only the impact within Scotland but also in the North of England.
