Feu was long the most common form of land tenure in Scotland. Conveyancing in Scots law was dominated by forms which were called feudal until the Scottish Parliament passed the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000.[Note 1] The word is the Scots variant of fee.[Note 2] The English had in 1660 abolished these tenures, with An Act Taking Away the Court of Wards ..., since 1948 known as the Tenures Abolition Act 1660.[3]
