A Scottish legal and land-tenure term describing land not held under feu, the Scottish feudal system in which land was granted in return for a duty or service. Now largely historical following the abolition of feudal tenure in Scotland in 2004, but still appears in property law discussions and historical records.
Large tracts of the estate remained unfeued, held directly by the laird without any formal grant.
