'In this lecture I will explore why it is that land, democracy and culture in Scotland are intimately related, that 'land reform' is actually about a more general process of democratising Scotland. It is no coincidence that the 'land' issue is on the political agenda just at the point at which a Scottish parliament is in the making. Similarly, our visions of who we are, our identity and culture, are bound up with the land. I am using the term 'culture' in this lecture in an anthropological sense, to refer to the shared meanings, norms and understandings which people in Scotland use to make sense of themselves and others, as well as the world around them (Cohen, 1993). Embedded in these notions is an attachment to the territory or land which constitutes Scotland in such a way that its iconography is easily recognised and mobilised.'
