People @ FoP: Scotland's Missing Wood Cabins

Presented by: Festival of Politics
0EDINBURGH: The Scottish Parliament - Committee Room One
PSaturday 18th August, 2012
N10:00am

Event information

Norway has the hytta, Sweden the sommerhus, Finland has the stuga, Russia the dacha, New Zealand the bach, and Canada and the United States have cabins. Scotland alone in northern latitudes seems to have virtually no hut, cabin or modest second home tradition. Why not – and does it matter? Journalist and Nordic Horizons Director Lesley Riddoch compares the ‘hut traditions’ of Norway and Scotland, land campaigner Andy Wightman describes hut building Swedish style, and both explore the land ownership issues that keep urban Scots away from nature.

In association with Nordic Horizons.
