The Daily Record published an article earlier this week about the land 'gifted' to Dalrymple from the Cassillis Estate.
My own understanding of the matter is that the land is to be leased to the village of Dalrymple for a 'peppercorn rent' and not actually 'given away' as such. The length and terms of the lease are still to be agreed. It seems to be a legal requirement to be brought in by the Scottish government for large landowners to make available some of their land to the local community ( I have to find out more about this for my own clarification). So while the land is not being leased out solely from the good intent of the landowner, it is still a great opportunity for Dalrymple residents to improve the community.
