Land and Boundary Disputes, Scotland

Boundary disputes can be a complex and divisive area of law.

After all, boundaries can change from where they were originally positioned because of an agreement between neighbours. They can also be changed by one neighbour using land on the “wrong” side of the boundary, if the other neighbour doesn’t do anything about it.

Finally, plans held by the Land Register of Scotland use thick lines to mark boundaries between properties. Thickness of the line could relate to several metres on the ground, so the placement of the real boundary can be difficult to ascertain from plans.

This is where the help of a specialist boundary dispute lawyer can help.
