Definition :

Runrig lands. Lands in Scotland where the ridges of a field belong alternately to different proprietors. Anciently this kind of possession was advant-ageous in giving a united interest to tenants to resist inroads. By Act 1695, c. 23, a division of these lands was authorized, with the exception of lands belonging to corporations.
