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 live in Wales, and as I understand it you can claim a piece of land if
you have had "undisturbed usage" for a period of 13 years ( I'm open to
correction of course)

yes, that's true but if your new neighbour decides to fight against it will
be not easy.
My new neighbours have proved to be more than difficult about sharing a drop
kerb and they did some kind of blackmail stuff about it. Like let us put up
a huge wall, 3 feet in front of your kitchen window.. I said no and got my
car blocked in.
too bad for them, I had to spend a whole lot of money for a drop kerb
(£1400) but the moment one of those cars blocks it, it's either me or the
police.
They'd probably prefer the police, tbh :-) I've lost my niceness with them.
It's sad, we would could have been friends before they tried all sorts of
things, like trying to make me sign away some of my land to them. I think
not! I said I'd run it past my solicitor which scared them off.
I loathe them.
