The legislation primarily relates to real burdens, a key aspect of
property law in Scotland, and defines them in section 1 of the act as "
an encumbrance on land constituted in favour of the owner of other land in that person’s capacity as owner of that other land". Section 2 of the act specifies that a real burden must involve an obligation either to do something, or to refrain from doing something, relating to the property in question. The act provides a legal basis for real burdens in light of the abolition of feudal tenure. The act established "title conditions" as a generic term for servitudes, conditions in long leases, and other obligations which are capable of variation or discharge by the Lands Tribunal. The act completed the abolition of the feudal system. == Further developments ==
