So how much land were you given in the late 1800s
and early 1900s in Scotland at no capital cost if you
were prepared to plough, gather the stones, dig the
ditches?
Thought so.

My great grandparents came from Scotland. Never homesteaded, bought all their land from the CPR at the going rate. Had the money to invest I guess.....paid dearly for it over the years in blood, sweat, and tears.
The biggest government program was they got to send their sons and grandsons to fight and die in the wars in Europe and damned near starve during the dirty thirties.
They came to a wilderness and turned it into a pretty decent country.
Now there are other people coming who are willing to pay for that investment. How is that bad?
