In England, the rule applies, or at least 'did' apply, that if you claim
a
piece of land and use it and it is not challenged within seven years, it's
'yours'. Perhaps the same rule applies North of the Border and the land
owner had to put his mark on the land.

I live in Wales, and as I understand it you can claim a piece of land if you
have had "undisturbed usage" for a period of 13 years ( I'm open to
correction of course)
