Brief Description |
Jock's
Road - Aberdeenshire & The Scottish Right of Way
More
details. |
Duncan Macpherson, a rich Scot, returned
from his stay in Australia in the late 19th century to
buy the Glen Doll Estate and immediately put a ban on
people traversing his land, upsetting many folks such
as shepherds for example. A certain John Winter (thus
the name Jock) defied his ban, resulting in the Scottish
Right of Way Society setting up right of way signs on
the estate and after many a court battle, going all the
way to the House of Lords, Macpherson eventually lost
his battle in 1888, leaving both him and the Right of
Way people bankrupt.
