Abstract
The paper examines the history and current state of farm amalgamation in Scotland using material from the Agricultural Census and from a survey of a sample of amalgamating farms. The nature of farms participating in amalgamations is described and explained and areas of very rapid and very slow amalgamating are investigated in detail. Finally, the effect of land tenure on the rate of amalgamation is discussed.
