  The Abolition of Feudal Tenure Act (2000)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)

Auchenshoogle Heritage Trust wishes to sell an acre of the woodland adjacent to the school to the local authority to provide an adventure playground.
Auchenshoogle Heritage Trust can then sell land to the local authority and in turn impose the further conditions it feels appropriate on the sale thus creating a new feudal relationship whereby the local authority is the vassal of the Trust whilst the Trust is the superior of the local authority.
