Land Boom in Scotland Fades After Armistice Spree
The London Times reports that since the armistice around 4.5 million acres have changed hands, about a quarter of Scotland. In 1921 600,000 acres were sold vs 800,000 in 1920, with last year’s sales totaling around £5 million and overall postwar turnover near £52.5 million. Agents warn the boom is waning as buyers retreat, though they anticipate a revival next year aided by improving industry and potential budget effects.
