Abstract The development and evolution of an agricultural system is influenced by many factors including binding constraints (limiting factors), choice of investments, and historic presence of land and income inequality. This study analyzed the development of two farming systems: mechanized, “economies of scale” farming in the Arkansas Delta and crofting in the Scottish Highlands. The study hypothesized that the current farm size in each region can be partially attributed to the binding constraints of either land or labor.

  • Language Dynamics in the Marketing of Gaelic Music Alison Lang & Wilson Mcleod
    Gaelic culture for sale: language dynamics in the marketing of Gaelic music Alison Lang & Wilson McLeod Scottish Gaelic culture is strongly identified with its musical tradition, and Gaelic song — both recorded and performed live — has become an increasingly popular element of Scotland’s vibrant traditional music scene. At the same time, Gaelic organisations have identified Gaelic music, and Gaelic culture more generally, as a key resource for language development in Scotland. The audience (or, to put it more directly, the market) for Gaelic song thus consists not only of the Gaelic community but many English monoglots as well—a linguistic dynamic that presents significant challenges in terms of how this material is packaged and transmitted. In this paper we look at how Gaelic and English are used in presenting Gaelic music, and Gaelic culture more generally, to this audience (or these audiences). In doing so, we consider what role this cultural dynamic is playing within the conceptualisation and implementation of Gaelic development strategies. The focus here is on recorded rather than live musical performance (although interesting research could be conducted into performers’ practices with regard to language use in the context of live performance), considering the ways in which commercial recordings of Gaelic music are ‘packaged’ in linguistic terms. We began with the observation that there appears to be too much English around Gaelic music — too much English spoken where Gaelic songs are sung and too much English written where Gaelic songs are presented and explained — and that this is problematic from the standpoint of Gaelic language maintenance and development.

  • Proceedings Full File Into
    Landscape, Law & Justice: Proceedings from a workshop on old and new commons, Centre for Advanced Study, Oslo, 11-13 March 2003 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Community Rights and Access to Land in Scotland22 David Sellar, School of Law, University of Edinburgh The purpose of the paper was to give a flavour of the great land debate which has been raging in Scotland for some years, and of which the most tangible outcome so far has been the Land Reform Scotland Act. This Act, passed by the Scottish Parliament in January 2003, contains provisions permitting general public access to land, and allowing for the community purchase of land. Before moving on to the land debate, the paper considered a number of preliminary points: the history of commons or “commonties” in Scotland; whether anything approximating to an allemansrett might be said to exist in Scotland; the Trust concept; and two myths regarding ownership and access. ------- Commons or commonties The history of commons in Scotland, or “commonties”, as they are often referred to, is very different from the better known history of the commons in England. In Scotland division and enclosure of common land came rather later than in England, and does not appear to have been, at least at first, so socially disruptive. The last purely Scottish Parliament before the Union with England in 1707 passed some significant agricultural legislation, including the Winter Herding Act of 1686, the Runrig Lands Act of 1695 and the Division of Commonties Act, also in 1695. This last provided for the division of commonties among the various interested proprietors, although excluding from its ambit commonties in which the Crown was one of the proprietors, and the commonties of royal burghs.
