There are around 340 sporting estates in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland covering 5.2 million acres of land (for a definition of a sporting estate, see Wightman et al, submitted). They represent over 30% of the total privately-owned land in Scotland and over 50% of privately-owned land in the Highlands and Islands. They thus represent a significant influence in how land is used in the region
