Legal Definitions - few

Definition: Few is a term that can refer to the Scottish legal concept of feu, which is a right to land given to a person in exchange for service to be performed. It can also refer to a perpetual lease for a fixed rent or a piece of land held under a perpetual lease for a fixed rent.

• A farmer in Scotland may have held a piece of land under a feu, which required them to pay an annual fee or provide services in exchange for the right to use the land.
• A property owner may choose to lease their land to a tenant under a few, which would require the tenant to pay a fixed rent for a set period of time.

These examples illustrate how the term few can refer to different types of land tenure arrangements, where the right to use the land is granted in exchange for some form of payment or service.
