321.Throughout this Act (except where it amends other legislation) “land” has the meaning set out in Schedule 1 to the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010, which is that ““land” includes buildings and other structures, land covered with water, and any right or interest in or over land”.
