I would have thought the boundary line for my property would lie somewhere proud of my garage wall. It’s how far proud is the question. If it’s a meter proud then the neighbours garage is partly on my land.

Again, I don't know anything about Scots law, but in England, if someone built a garage on your land 20 years ago, it's not your land any more. Subject to many complex exceptions involving the Land Registration Act 2002 Schedules 4 and 6. Neither or which, I believe, apply in Scotland.

Bottom line, as ever, is a nice cup of tea, a friendly chat, and a solution which works for everyone. The alternative is a world of grief, years of stress, and paying arseholes like me enough money that we start thinking that maybe it's time for another Porsche.

@TotalShanner You only get the option for a friendly chat once, but the option for stress and bills repeats indefinitely thereafter. Play it carefully.
