Our "Best Friend Doug"
"'When the day shall come, that we do part,' he said softly, and turned to look at me, 'if my last words are not ‘I love you’ – ye’ll ken it was because I didna have time.'"
The Fiery Cross, Diana Gabaldon (with a little help from her "best friend, Doug")
Doug...this one's for you.

Scotland - Monarch of the Glen - UK
You MUST go watch this video about the Land Reform Act that was passed in 2003 regarding the Scottish Highlands. (It has nothing to do with the popular television show of the same name.)
If anyone has more info about how things have gone since the act was passed, please comment! It's a very hard thing to research online. Lots of legal mumbo jumbo and miles of data/info. But what I'm looking for is this: Is it working? How have things changed? For the better or worse? An how do the (former?) estate owners feel now that it's been passed for 8 years?
**Note - You will see a quick ad before the video starts. Thanks to Michelle for pointing that out!
