Such a body is entitled to enforce certain real burdens (referred to prospectively as (“conservation burdens”.] or [The feudal superior is the Scottish Ministers and it is intended that they shall enforce certain real burdens (referred to prospectively as (“conservation burdens”F1 . . . .] These are burdens which have been imposed in the public interest for the preservation or protection either of architectural or historic characteristics of land or of some other special characteristic of land derived from the flora, fauna, or general appearance of the land. By this notice [the conservation body is] [the Scottish Ministers are] claiming the right to continue to enforce a conservation burden, not as superior but [in its capacity as a conservation body] [in their capacity as the Scottish Ministers].
