Great Newsnight Scotland report by BBC's Ian Hamilton on problems on Islay. Powerful, moving words about the damaging effect of Scotland's feudal land-ownership on young Scots. Comments by young would-be farmer Tony Rogza start 16 minutes in. How can the Scottish Government keep turning a blind eye to the impact of land scarcity on affordable housing, jobs, school rolls, human capacity and general optimism? This young man is Scotland's future. And yet he faces the same uphill task to work the land as his Victorian ancestors. Shameful. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01h8rc5/Newsnight_Scotland_30_04_2012/
