Vast swathes of that land are set aside for the pursuits of the rich too. Huge swathes of Scotland support a massive deer population who, with no natural predators, cause widespread damage to the ecosystem. Grouse moor management is one of the main causes of an increase in flooding, as the practise of heather burning inhibits the upland's ability to catch and hold rainwater.
