Udal Law

Okay kiddo, so every place in the world has different rules and laws that people have to follow. Sometimes these laws are made by the government, and sometimes they’re made by the people who live in that place.

Udal law is a type of law that comes from a place called the Shetland Islands, which is a group of islands near Scotland.

A long time ago, people on the Shetland Islands started making up their own rules to live by. They didn’t like the rules that the government was making, so they decided to make their own.

These rules became known as the udal law. They were based on the idea that each person who lived on the islands had their own piece of land, and they could do whatever they wanted with it.

For example, if someone owned a field, they could plant whatever they wanted in it and no one else could tell them what to do. They could also pass that piece of land down to their children when they died, and their children could keep doing whatever they wanted with it.

The udal law was really important to the people who lived on the Shetland Islands, because it gave them a lot of freedom and control over their own lives.

Nowadays, the udal law isn’t as important as it used to be, because the government has made a lot of laws for the islands. But people still talk about it and remember the old days when they were in charge of their own land.
