If it's her property, she has a right to keep people off of it.

Not according to Scottish law, freedom to roam. And her property is too big, she's got 23 acres of land. Meanwhile, everyone else in the country is crammed into Stagecoach buses, well not everyone, you know what i mean.

So this Right to Roam law allows anyone freedom to walk across your lawn whenever they feel like it? Hmm, living in Canada in a fair sized city this seems strange to me.

If the place she lives is a historical building or heritage site then people should be allowed to visit the grounds, sort of like a park, maybe.
