Battle over 'tax break trees'

This is a story of corporate green lairds versus local communities. The Tayvallich estate in Scotland is the latest battleground over land-use. The 3,500-acre estate in Argyll is up for sale for £10.4 million. Supported by the conservation industry, the corporates want the land to plant trees as tax breaks. The locals want to be able to live there.
