Default End of the allotments

Derelict land in Glasgow used as community allotments for the last three
years have been destroyed by owners without warning, so that
allotmenteers were unable to retrieve plants and materials.

It's sad to hear but I'm not surprised. If you grow somewhere you haven't
permission to, this kind of thing will always happen. All land belongs to
someone (or a council) and if you kind of squat on it, you have to be
prepared to be evicted.
Having said that, it's still a pity but they must have known it was risky.
