Well, I for one would not want to own much of Scotland, as its unproductive
Define "Productive" then see how well you fit within that definition before discounting an entire country as "unproductive"

Demographic, thats a slightly harsh thing to say to someone who cannot work because of health (polite way of saying `attitudes of employers to my health.`)
I drove through Cumbria when the waters were receding last time, and it was like being on a road across a sea. They have my utmost sympathy going through anything like that again.

you have been campaigning to keep the sheep on the hills. Now you lament the floods this policy has helped to cause.

I think the British Isles are all beautiful, and the range of differences in geology, ecology, economy etc., within the islands is immense. I love the diversity
Just now Cumbria, the borders, parts of Perthshire (and on a lesser scale, Lanarkshire) are flooded and we have gale force winds. Wales has been hit hard, again, too. Even in my usually sheltered bit of the world we are inundated with flooded roads and burns bursting over their banks, with trees blown over as well Other parts of the country are having a quietish night though.
We're bemoaning potential changes in access while other folks are struggling (literally) to just keep their homes above water.

Carlisle here.
Just helped my daughter move stuff upstairs and put sandbags at the back door , her house has water coming up from under the floorboards now.
Last time this happened the rebuilding took a year for some people. She'll likely be staying back with us for a while then.
Its still well worth fighting for continued access for camping in Scotland though.
