We advise on the legal matters that come with land, rural property and rural enterprise.

We also have specialist experience in Scottish barony titles and heraldry, including the sale and purchase of feudal dignities.
We work with estates, farmers, crofters, rural businesses, investors and community bodies. We also help clients in Scotland and overseas who want to secure or transfer a Scottish barony title, or explore heraldry as part of their connection to Scotland and its traditions.
