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.

I have watched this thread with great interest.

In England, the rule applies, or at least 'did' apply, that if you claim a
piece of land and use it and it is not challenged within seven years, it's
'yours'. Perhaps the same rule applies North of the Border and the land
owner had to put his mark on the land.

I have reason to believe that that policy was applied to half an acre of
land which was attached to a house I bought which is now built on. Could
that land owner fear the same consequence?
