Definition
A person who holds land under feu tenure; a Scottish tenant or leaseholder who pays fixed annual rent for perpetual use of the land.
Etymology
From 'feu' plus the agent suffix '-ar' (Scottish variant of '-er'), directly paralleling 'occupier' or 'tenant.' This is a distinctly Scottish legal term with no exact English equivalent.
Kelly Says
Feuars in Scotland had an interesting paradox—they paid very little but essentially owned the land permanently, while actual feudal lords elsewhere had complete control but could lose it—it's an upside-down feudalism!
