This pathfinding textbook concentrates on the most important aspects of the substantive law relating to Scotland, focusing on the regulation of pollution including the common law controls.In Scotland, just as in any other global jurisdiction, environmental laws have proliferated in the age of climate change and industrial growth during the technological revolutions of the last three centuries. Whilst the origins of environmental law lie in population pressure and industrial growth, our modern age brings with it many planning controls and regulations based on global concerns.This textbook includes discussion of the specific laws relating to Scotland in a global age. It includes sections on nuisance (including statutory nuisance), noise, air pollution (including climate change), waste, contaminated land and water pollution, planning and control of pollution, and nature conservation. The author also assesses the contribution of European environmental law on the law within Scotland.Providing the student or professional with a sound contextual overview of environmental law, this textbook serves as a key resource for working with jurisdictional issues within Scotland.Key Features• The only textbook of its kind for students of environmental law in Scotland• An authoritative and readable account from a leading author in the field• Covers all the major areas of modern environmental law in Scotland• Focuses on regulation, planning and control• Gives the reader historical context for the laws as they standFrancis McManus is Honorary Professor of Law at the University of Stirling and Emeritus Professor of Law at Edinburgh Napier University.
