Worth noting 1% of England's population is about 550,000 people, as is mentioned in a linked article - half of Scotland is owned by ~600 people!

Edit: In my own opinion, this iniquitous state of land ownership in Scotland is somewhat compensated for by the fact we have the Right To Roam - which means even though a lot of land is kept as hunting estates anyone can wander about pretty much as we please (with some fairly minor restrictions).
