- W2326374080 abstract "Relatively few attempts have been made to consider in depth the nature of runrig; the paper seeks to reduce this deficiency by discussing seventeenthand eighteenth-century evidence for tenant and proprietary runrig in Roxburghshire and Berwickshire. Four aspects are examined: their tenure, scale of operation, layout and the problem of re-allocation. Using this evidence, an attempt is made to develop a re-interpretation of runrig's essential meaning that focuses on the type of tenure associated with runrig farms and the implications which it had for the nature and status of runrig property. DESPITE its importance to the study of Scottish landscape history, surprisingly little agreement exists over the exact nature of runrig. A list of the characteristics which different writers have adopted as its distinguishing feature includes both the joint and share holding of farms by more than one tenant,' the sub-division and intermixture of each tenant's holding in the form of strips, the systematic scattering of these strips throughout the farm their parallel alignment, their sequential allocation, their periodic re-allocation, the practice of a communal system of husbandry to the extent of the produce and not the land being divided and the practice of an infield-outfield system of cultivation. This impressive diversity of opinion, and the confusion which it must inevitably engender, cannot be wholly excused by pleading the lack of manuscript evidence for Scottish agrarian history prior to I750. Indeed, the small but growing number of studies which have attempted, and succeeded, in building up an image of runrig through estate and sheriff court papers are proof enough that such material can provide a secure foundation for substantive work. However, failure to make use of extant documentary material is only a part of the problem. Some of the present-day confusion of understanding can also be attributed to a general unwillingness to venture beyond the mere description of runrig and to examine how its various parts fitted together. In consequence, vital aspects of the problem remain completely unexplored. In response to this state of affairs, the objectives of this paper are twofold. First, it seeks to expand on the published evidence currently available by presenting that which the writer has gathered on tenant and proprietary2 runrig in seventeenthand eighteenth-century Roxburghshire and Berwickshire. Secondly, it attempts to use this evidence as the basis for a new interpretation of runrig's essential meaning. TENANT RUNRIG IN ROXBURGHSHIRE AND BERWICKSHIRE The discussion of tenant runrig in Roxburghshire and Berwickshire has been organized around four key problems: its landholding background, scale, physical layout and the problem of reallocation." @default.
